Hello Chris, and list,
I'd like to have my subscription to the FML dropped for now. I am going on
a business trip to England for three months, and my sysadmin probably wouldn't
appreciate having my mail file fill up all that much while I am gone.
ObFerret: I have discovered the ultimate ferret toy: drain tile. We are
doing some construction on our house, and had a 8-foot length of black
plastic corregated drain tile left over. It's used for drainage around
foundations, and so on, and has lots of slits in it for (water) air & light.
Weasel thinks this is just the best thing since the cats. He'll entertain
himself for full MINUTES by going back and forth through this thing. Also,
I can lift one end of it up onto a chair, and he'll climb through the tube, onto
the chair, and then jump down onto the ground and repeat the process. It's
a good ambush spot for him to hide, waiting for the odd passing feline, canine,
or human...when you least expect it, TA-DAA, you have a ferret wrapped around
your ankle.
I know this stuff is really cheap, and you should be able to get it at any
hardware store/building supply store. I rounded the cut ends so they don't
have any sharp bits, and it doesn't look like he wants to eat the thing.
Anyway, give that a shot! And it's been great getting the FML, I'll resubscribe
once I return to the US, but at a different mail address, Chris.
Thanks, and talk to you all later,
Dave Hinz
