Dear Roary-

You have to keep in mind that Ping and Puma only have 800 square
feet of home available to them, we live in a pine cabin in the woods,
literally. It's not a lot bigger than a trailer. The thing is, they
have pretty much destroyed all of the good stuff in it already. What
remains is either no challenge to any self-respecting pigmy wolverine,
or ferret-proofed, like the bathroom wastebasket with bricks in the
bottom so that it can't be tipped. Now a lot of their romping or
stomping involves checking 'their" property, to make sure it's still
there. Sofas? Check. Cat food dish? Check. Dog's water bowl? Check.
Motorcycle helmets? Check. (They make great nap sites!) Delicious
smelling rubber mat in bath tub? Check. Chewy mouse pad? Check.

Now, as it happens, I have a sturdy cardboard box used for shipping
live chicks in the mail. I would be happy to send Ping and Puma in
it to YOUR place for a few days. New territory! They would *delight*
in trashing your home until like mine, there is nothing left to lay
waste to. I have discussed it with them, and they look forward to the
challenge.

Just say the word.
