I was bitten by ferret math this weekend.  Unlike a flu vaccine, there is
no cure!
 
Please welcome the two new kids to the block (making a grand total of 6
ferts to one human!): Tricky (who may end up being better known as FANG)
and Slick (who may end up being known as T-Bear after a teddy bear).
 
Both boys are 4 months old and cute as the dickens!  Their owner was unable
to sell them and I took them in with open paw, food bowl, water bowl, love,
understanding and plenty of other paws to greet them.
 
On another note, I would love to share the "What do they steal".  Let's
take a small tally of what I've "given" to the little fuzzbutts:
 
- 2 remote controls including the buttons
- 1 small container of mace chewed off the keychain (sorry mommy, I knew
  you might get mad if I only stole the keys again)
- The buttons off the digital cable box
- 2 tub stoppers
- unspecified number of pantyhose (they would play tag - one could climb
  into the hamper and toss the unmentionables to the eldest below who
  would run off dooking.
- Every pair of insoles they could steal and would eventually steal the
  ones that didn't come out of the shoes.
- One pair of Berkenstock sandals (we don't like to talk about that
  one! --  $70 sandals..... grumble grumble)
- and let's not forget mommy's favorite ..... Please, let me order the
  pizza while you do the dishes.  Which button on the phone was that again
  .... oh well, I'll just chew on them all until the pizza gets here!
  Mommy only thanks the heavens little Frostie hit the intercom button and
  not the one marked "phone".
- The toe of one sneaker was chewed to shreds
- 8 rolls of toilet paper (this is what happens when you littlest is little
  enough to go under the door of the linen closet and get into the 24 pack
  of t-paper and begin to kick and thrust until you have 8 rolls of swiss
  cheese to wipe with for the next month or so!)
- The boyfriend's $300 orthotic from his work boots.
- One wrist brace (it has been returned complete with teeth marks).
- and finally .... The one that would make mommy's face the reddest ....
  Let's steal the asthma inhaler from her purse and hide it under the
  backside of the entertainment center and watch her turn blue.  Oh, mommy,
  you can have the ichy tasting stuff, we just want the plastic thingy!
  Yep, they actually figured out the zipper and would steal it from my
  purse.  And you thought teenagers and wallets were a problem!
 
Let's just see what the new boys can get into!
 
Dooks to all.
