Hi, Everyone!
 
First, I wanted to express my heartfelt sympathy to everyone who's lost
their ferret family member, recently.  I read the FML first thing in
the morning where I work .. if anyone walks in and sees my red, watery
eyes, they're going to wonder what could upset me so early in the morning.
But that's OK ... I know how you feel and hang in there .. it does get
better .. slowly.
 
On a more upbeat note .. has anyone experienced this with their ferrets ...
 
When I put down some PVC and dryer vent pipes on the floor for my 4 babies
to play in, they sometimes seem to get SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo
excited -- they wag their tails REALLY FAST (sounds like a machine gun
is going off inside the pipe!)??
 
The first time I heard it, I couldn't "see" it because they were inside the
maze of pipes.  I had NO idea what I was hearing!  It alarmed me, but then
I saw one come out of one pipe, go halfway into another, stop, and start
wagging that little tail like there was no tomorrow!!  I couldn't stop
laughing!!!
 
I assume this is a "MAN!  I'M HAVING SOOOOO MUCH FUN I CAN'T STAND IT!!!"
kind of gesture?  Have any of you experienced ... "the thrill"??
