Friday Ferretblogging: Stripe Edition

We got some bad news from the vet this week. Stripe's developed another tumor, and it, like the monster one we just had taken out of him two months ago, is growing pretty fast. He's still pretty fragile from the last surgery so we're trying meds for now, since he doesn't seem to be in any pain, hoping that will hold it off for long enough for him to get fat and strong.

His basic routine is that he pops out of his cage at least once a day, tussles with Puck a bit, and gives himself a scratch on the bubble wrap. Puck's even letting him play with his favorite tennis ball. And he curls up in my lap while I post pictures of him online, every once in a while giving me a nice kick with one paw to say "Hey, I've still got it."
