Howdy,
 
I'm back from the dead.  Well, it seems like it to me.  I've been out the
past couple weeks with a hardcore case of pneumonia, so I've been barely
able to keep up with the FML, much less make any posts.  It's been a
wonderful couple of weeks.  (note the extreme sarcasm) During that time the
Pomeranian's digestive system decided to become distressed, and he developed
the worse case of runs I have ever seen.  I didn't know that much poop could
come out of a dog that small.  In addition, Ricochet, my albino, had just
had abscess removed from his butt area and I had to give him liquid Baytril
with a syringe.  This process is a struggle at best and all out war at
worst.  So I'm sick as a dog, running around cleaning up the nasty messes
from that hind end of the Pom and trying to squirt a foul-tasting concoction
into the front end of Ricochet.  Like I said, a wonderful couple of weeks.
All three of us were on medication for our various ailments.  I'm just lucky
everyone received the right stuff.
 
Anyway, since it's been so long since I posted, some of these threads are
probably a little old, but I just wanted to put my $.02 in.  On hunting
ferrets, At one time, I wanted to try hunting with my ferrets.  But I just
couldn't find those orange vests in a small enough size.  Not to mention the
fact that the recoil on my 30.06 rifle throws them back about 5 feet.  And
trying to keep all four of them still and quiet in the tree stand was next
to impossible.
 
To Ed Lipinski on ferret speed records:
You obviously haven't timed a ferret running from the farthest corner in a
house to the front door when the door is opened.  Whenever I open that door,
there are instantly ferrets there trying to escape.  I lack sophisticated
measuring devices, but I estimate Turbo's top speed in this situation to be
about Mach 12, which is significantly higher than the figure you reported.
I've had to replace the windows 3 times because the sonic boom blows them
out.
 
To Ed & Bob C:
You guys have got to stop using words I have to look up in the dictionary.
I'm talking about "erudite".  Why couldn't you just say "smart guy who reads
alot of books"?  And I couldn't even find "shmerudite" in the dictionary.
You need to keep things simple so us college graduates can understand it.
 
The Weezil Tower of Doom:
Here's a ferret toy suggestion for those of you who are hopelessly addicted
to that wonderfully caffienated creation known as Mountain Dew.  Buy it by
the case so you can save the boxes.  Then randomly start taping them
together and cut holes in the sides to connect them.  If you're really
addicted to the Dew, you can add a box at least once a week.  It makes a
great playhouse for the weezils and they love it.  I've been doing this for
a while and now my living room is filled with this giant monstrosity of
cardboard and tape.  It doesn't match the decor, but in my apartment even
the decor doesn't match the decor.
 
Well, gotta go.  I must go defend the penguins from the halibut-wielding
iguanas.
