Most ferrets love the snow because they can dig in it and it is so unfamiliar. Suki loves it but gets cold so fast because of her small size. Dan and I knitted a sweater for her. It fits her very well but she doesn't like it. She wiggles her way out of it. I managed to get a few pictures of her with it on before she got it off.

This week Houdini went to the vet's office. He had a giant mass in his abdomen we suspected was an enlarged spleen. He also seemed to be more lethargic than usual. The vet wanted to do an ultrasound on his stomach. They had to shave his belly and put the jelly stuff on his tummy. I imagine he hated every second of it. Afterward they informed us that his spleen seemed to be functioning normally thus they'd like to do some blood tests. They had to shave his neck so they could draw blood. He spent the whole rest of the day at the vet's office because they wanted him to have a three hour fast so they could take a fasting blood glucose level. Dan went to pick up Houdini but had forgotten to bring the carrier. He made a little bed for Houdini on the passenger seat out of some blankets and towels that were in the car. Houdini chose to curl up in Dan's lap instead. It was very sweet. The poor guy had a very long day but is now home with his parents and other fur-siblings. His mommy is giving him lots of extra attention to make him feel better for the fact that she left him at the mean vet's office. Here is a pic of his sad little shaved belly:
