There is a very fat ferret whose name might be Ronan (for its meaning of little seal, not for the VNV singer) sleeping under the bed right now.  He and Seti so far get along at a distance, so it's off to a promising start.  I gave them linatone and they licked each other's faces to get the last drops of that ferret crack.  He needs to lose some serious weight though--I'd guess he's about 1500g but from his body frame and length he shouldn't weigh much more than a kilo.  He really seems to like people.

Stormy just doesn't work as a name.  He needs something more meaningful, something less generic.  Plus as a kid I had the book and horse model "Stormy, Misty's Foal" and so I cannot help but add Misty's Foal every time I think Stormy.  The ferret is  not spotty and his mom was undoubtedly not a Chincoteague Pony.

Are you sure his mom wasn't a pony? Chincoteagues can be pretty pudgy...

Ronan would be a lovely name, if it proves to be his.

(By the way, spell-check suggests as alternatives for Chincoteagues: "Shindigs, Hangdogs, Narcotics, Neocortex")

I also like the name Ronan. It reminds me of the movie "The Secret of Ronan Innish". The fact he's a little pudgy really goes with the seal aesthetic! ;)

Yep, you're absolutely right ~ thanks! I only saw the movie once quite a while ago and honestly I'm happy I remembered the name as well as I did :)

Must see!

I'm glad this seems to be working out with Seti. I'm sure he'll be a good personal trainer for The Ferret Currently Known As Ronan.
