Howdy Y'all,
 It's me, Mac, from deep in the heart of enemy territory. I've got to go
memorize obnoxious amounts of generally useless information (ain't that
what higher educations all about?) so i've only a moment, but i wanted to
pontificate on the putorian posterior.
 My malicious mustelid, bucky, drags her little rear after every poopie.
At first i wrote it off to hygiene and started looking for teeny tiny
rolls of toilet paper to save my poor carpet, but then i read some Kiwi's
journal article on ferret scent marking. It seems that un-descented
furries  like to clearly identify where they poop, eat, and sleep. Now,
poor buck probably doesn't remember getting her glands cut out. Do y'all
suppose she's marking? I've notice that she likes to rub her muzzle in
certain places, and i know that there are stinky glands there.
                                             Much obliged for input,
                                               Mac and
                                            Berkeley beastie Bucky
