I've been thinking of renaming Easel to 'Puck.' Not because she's impish and
capricious (she is) but because she slides so very well across our hardwood
floors.  *grin* If my ferrets designed an amusement park ride, it would
certainly be a big room with a slippery floor and 'bumpers' on the walls
that pushed them back and forth across the room so they slid back and forth.
 
Before you go and think I'm being cruel, I discovered that Noodle and Easel
LOVE this when I was trying to clean their litterbox one day and they both
kept sticking their heads into the bag full of poop.  I'd reach over, slide
them a couple feet away, and go back to cleaning.  Finally I realized they
were coming back not to get into the poop, but so I could slide them around
s'more.  After one or two slides, they're hopping around like popcorn in a
hot greased frying pan.  They get even more excited if I slide them across
the floor and they hit the edge of the area rug and go tumbling onto it.
No, I don't slide them very hard.  Yes, i have very slick floors.
