A Clingy Day or Two

Adja, our oldest ferret, is having a Velcro week. She's not generally one who likes to come cuddle with people, although she'll curl up with Mandy and Chloe, the other two ferrets, quite cheerfully. In the last couple of days, though, she's been playing "Flop" in order to get our attention. She does this by flopping down with her back legs splayed out and her chin flat on the floor. Naturally she recovers promptly the minute we stop and pet her. This method is a lot better than what Mandy does when she wants attention and I don't notice her—Mandy nips at my toes. The other morning I held Adja and gave her reiki for almost 1 ½ hours, and this morning she's curled up tight sleeping in my lap as I write this. When I try to put her back in her favourite sleeping spot, she gets up and plays "Flop" again. So I guess it will be a Snuggle Adja Day as I read and write. There are worse ways to spend my time.
