I was checking out some old pictures this afternoon, and came across a ton of ferret shots! I had three, but this guy was the love of my life and my first animal soul-mate.
We named him Zizou (Zee for short), after the soccer (sorry - football for the rest of you!) player who head-butted another player some years ago. You see, when I first rescued Zee I waited awhile to name him to allow his personality to come forth. The third or fourth night, he was in his usual playful mood and now comfortable with his surroundings...and did the most energetic, passionate ferret wardance I'd ever seen. I had been lying flat on the floor with him, and he went full-tilt wardance right into my forehead - he didn't feel it at all but you could hear the THUMP he made on my skull, haha.
My DH (fiance at the time) declared him Zizou and it stuck.
