Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted due to problems in to office but the
smoke is clearing and I feel like a REBEL today!  Just wanted to write and
offer a few suggestions that may make someones life a little easier!
 
Finding your shoes: Tabitha, my full figured baby, LOVES shoes!  She even
trys to take them off your feet or if that is not possible she will try to
take your foot with it!  We have found a full proof method of finding our
shoes!  If Tabitha's behavior is true to ferret nature then your young'uns
probably pile your shoes up in one or two locations of their choice.  Now
once they are secure Tabitha will not move them again so...we check all her
favorite impound areas for our shoes and once we locate them we make a
mental note of where that particular shoe was so that when I need that shoe
or pair of shoes I know exactly where it is!  Hasn't failed yet!!!
 
Tricking your baby into taking their pills: If your baby's are anything like
mine they will devour their favorite snacks so quickly that you have to tell
them what it was when they are finished because you KNOW they didn't taste
it!  When Lucy got tape worm I was at a loss as to how to get her to take
the worm pills Dr. Cook gave me so...I took the medication and pressed it
into the center of Pounce chicken flavored treats with my thumb.  The girls
gobbled the pills up with the Pounce so fast that they never new that mom
pulled a fast one on them!
 
Chaulk another one up for mom!
 
God bless and love to all,
        Irena...Lucy, Chelsea, Rikki and Tabitha's mom
