Hi All,
Got a few subjects here. For the person with Oblina (tried to e-mail it,
but it came back to me so thought I'd post it) : I just wanted to say that
I think it's cute that your albino ferret is named Oblina, since it's an
anagram. All the letters are the same in albino and Oblina, just
rearranged! hehe!
And for Millie, I love the names Dizzy and Joy. Good choices!
I have a question about the Portland Ferret Fun Match on the 12th. I don't
know if I can go, but if I can, how will I know who anyone is? I have
heard of people on this list being there, but I have no idea what anyone
looks like. Was just curious..
Also.. From Lynn McIntosh:
>It's too late in the season, but next year I'll try and remind people to
>go smell a blooming "Pieris japonica" bush, which smells EXACTLY like a
>ferret, that musky wafting smell on a hot day after they wake up. And
>there are some daisies that smell EXACTLY like ferrets' ears!
AHA! Maybe I should ask my neighbours what they have in their front
gardens. :) There was a period where every single time I'd come outside,
I said, "Hmm, it smells like ferrets." And there are so many plants out
there, it just has to be coming from one of them. So I thought that post
was really interesting. =)
I'd also like to add that I'm really so very sorry to hear about those of
you who have lost your ferrets and those of you with sick ones. Even if I
don't get to write to everyone, I think about all of you and am always
hoping for the best for everyone.
On a lighter note: I had a pseudo ferret sighting today. Anyone catch the
M*A*S*H marathon? They were running episodes all day here. So I was
watching a few of them, and one episode especially caught my attention at
one point. Hawkeye, Honeycut, Radar, and General Potter were standing
around a table talking and drinking, and had heard that Frank would no
longer be coming back because he was transferred. They said, "Let's make
a toast." And someone said, "Something tender." Another said, "Something
sentimental." And Hawkeye raised his glass, the others followed, and he
said, "Good-bye, Ferret Face." Haha!!
All right, off I go. Everyone take care of themselves and their fuzzy
friends. :)
