Hello everyone!  Thought I should drop a line from "behind the Zion
curtain" and let you know how we all are.
 
Well, Snowball is up to his old tricks.  He has been escaping from his cage
on a fairly regular basis and stashing things, odd things, in his hidey
hole.  Ironically, today I FOUND his little treasure trove.  Ironic,
because I was just thinking of replacing one of the things the little
weasel hid.
 
I have been missing my pager since we got back from our trip to Missouri in
NOV.  Now, this would be a minor thing, but with my work schedule, it was a
real inconvienience for me, not to mention my family.  Angel looks under
the couch today (now, mind you, I've looked under there myself, and cleaned
under there, at least five times since then........) and says "Mom, Snowy's
got you pager, and it's under the couch." I moved the couch, and, she was
right, there was my pager with a ferret attatched.  A red eyed, poofy
tailed, kleptomaniac ferret.  Also under there was: one of Angels 101
Dalmation slippers, one of my husbands slippers, and a container of Certs
super powered breath mints.  Now, the only thing I can figure is the little
s#@t has been moving these things from hidey hole to hidey hole forever, in
the effort to keep me from finding them.  The only NEWLY missing thing was
the breath mints.
 
Also, last night, Snowball kept escaping and going into my sons room.  Andy
went to sleep with his walkman CD player playing, earphones in ears
(probably listening to Tupac Shakur........).  He woke up when he felt like
something was trying to rip his ears off.  Andy said the part that
disturbed him the most was this awful pain in his ears (I guess if you pull
those things out the right way they don't hurt, but if you try to pull them
straight out both sides at once, it can be painful) wakes him up, he opens
his eyes, and right on his chest is Snowball, red eyes and poofy tail,
hissing and dooking because he can't get the earphones free.  In the
moonlight, it was frightening.  He is convinced that Snowball was trying to
take his CD player and hide it under the sofa too.
 
Perhaps Snowy was setting up and planning on inviting Pookie out to a "get
together" under the sofa?  I mean, he had breath mints for fresh breath, a
pager (so Pookie could contact him), tunes, some comfy slippers (one for
each).  What else would he need?  I guess food and water, but he probably
wouldn't start stocking those and treats until just before she arrived.
 
This "Dirty White Boy" of mine is starting to scare me.
