Funny Stories: Part IX
 
Rhun (a.k.a. LittleRhunGirl) has learned to climb curtains.  Yep.  All
the way to the top.  She did not, however, stay in Curtain Climbing 101
class long enough to learn how to get back down.  So she barks when
she's ready to come down.  Loudly.  She also draws a crowd, as the other
ferrets (two boys) bounce around, watching her way up there.  Of course,
none of them will climb up there, throw her over their shoulder and bring
her down like any big he-ferret would do.  Nope.  They just laugh, bounce
around and tell jokes about her being stuck up there.
 
That means I have to go get a ladder, climb up, convince her to let go,
plunk her on my shoulder, then climb back down as she gives my ear a
thorough cleaning.  Yikes!
 
She has barked in my ear once, too.  Time to trim them nails even shorter
than they were!   Does anyone think there might be a genetic relationship
between Rhun and Little Jack Horner?  Immediately after getting down, she
jumps up and down on my leg, begging for a snack.
 
Funny Stories: Part Eleventy-Eight
 
I was putting the freshly-washed afghan on the couch, where it belongs.
I spread it out all nice and neat and went into the kitchen to turn out
the lights.  Came back in and there was no afghan on the couch.  The
Three Little Mice--er...three kid ferts (Rhun, Chewy and Bump) had
dragged it off and stuck it under the couch.  They accomplished this in
less than 30 seconds.  One of them then took a 'leak' on it.  Why, I
can't tell you.
 
So I tugged it back out, stuffed it back in the washer and started the
cycle up again.  Came back into the living room.  Sat on the couch,
thinking "What did I do to deserve this life?"  No thundering answers
from above.
 
Then, I hear the sound of little feet beside the couch.  I look down to
see three little furry bunches with their evil little snouts pointed at
me.  Ok, so they aren't yet evil (Bump, you've got some kibble-dust on
your whiskers.  Rhun, your hair sin't combed.  Chewy, you've got a piece
of snack on your chin.  [They all go off and correct their various
problems, then return] That's better, Ok everyone, strike a pose...)
yet...now they've got it right.
 
What are they all expecting from me?  Why, a snack, of course!  They
showed great teamwork, getting that big, nasty clean-smelling afghan off
that poor, defenseless couch, then teaching it a lesson it won't soon
forget!  They deserved a reward for their actions!  Oh, the thought
patterns of ferrets.
 
Funny  Stories: The Sequel
 
The kid bunch (Rhun, Chewy & Bump) have invented a new game.  They
haven't told me the name of it yet, but it involves all three ferrets and
the mailing tube.  One of the boys goes to one end of the tube and waits
in ambush.  Another fert goes to the other end and goes in.  That ferret
has to run out the other end fast enough to avoid getting trounced on by
the one at the far end.  Usually, the third ferret will also go in the
end of the tube and wait for the second one to race out, then they will
follow at high speed, usually avoiding the trap at the end, because the
ambush ferret is trying to pounce on the first tube runner that came out.
If successful, the third ferret will dance with joy at avoiding a
trouncing.  They all trade places, then start all over again.  This game
can go on for over a half hour and is quite noisy--especially when the
first one through the tube is caught!
 
The funniest part, is that Chewy is almost always the first ambusher.
He waits at the end of the tube, but watches who goes in first.  If it's
Rhun (speed demon deluxe!), he moves farther away from the end of the
tube, knowing that she is very fast.  If the first one in is bump, then
he gets real close to the end of the tube, knowing that Bump it too big
to run very fast and can be nabbed just as he emerges!  That is one smart
ferret!  He can actually make adjustments to his attack, depending on
which ferret he will be dealing with!
 
Ok, enough funny stories.  I'm sure I'm boring you all with the silly
antics of my flumpy bunches, so I'll let y'all continue with this list.
Keep them funny stories coming, though!
