My little "helper"...

So this morning my parents left for Vancouver to visit my sister for a while, leaving me in charge of the 3 ferrets, 2 dogs, and 2 horses. My brother promptly arrived to drop off his dog, Guiness, so that I wouldn't get too lonely. Thankfully, because it's Canada Day, I have today off to spend with my furry family.

Now, because my parents were gone, I thought it would be a special treat for the ferrets to get to run around upstairs (which they normally aren't allowed to do). Things went smoothly at first, so I decided I would be safe to leave them unsupervised while I hopped in the shower.

WRONG. When I got out I found Jean Luc digging frantically in the Aloe Vera pot! He had uprooted about 6 Aloe babies, and dumped all the soil on the living room floor! I'm sure my mom is cringing if she is reading this.

In all fairness, I had been meaning on doing this myself, namely, removing the Aloe babies and transferring them into their own pots to be given away. So Jean Luc was really just helping me *g*.

Too bad I didn't take a picture of Jean Luc before throwing him in the shower, he looked like quite the little rascal, with his muddy paws and face. He had rings of dirt around both eyes from sticking his face right into the soil. Alas, at the time I didn't find him cute.
