I just wanted to say that I bought "The Big Adventure" by David Doyle.  I
have enjoyed reading about Maxie and Rosie.  Someday I will have
grandchildren that I plan to read it to.  It is a very nicely done book.  My
only question is which ferret is which?  Maybe I didn't pay close enough
attention when you were describing the girls, but the only picture I
recognize is Miss Wiggles.  Tho I think either Maxie or Rosie got the double
exposure :) I think it was worth buying.
 
Ferret games
One thing I have always wanted to tell the FML.  Our ferret isn't mine, it
belongs to my son.  However I subbed to the list when I first heard he was
buying one.  When he first got her, he bought her all kinds of toys from the
pet store.  The ones she liked best were the ones I had heard of here on the
FML.  (I paid $X for this and her favorite toy is a sock???) <VBG> That
done, here is a great game for our solitary fert.  She doesn't have dryer
hose yet, but this is almost as good.
 
Coveralls as a ferret toy
You can loop the coveralls into all kinds of twisty shapes.  Leg to leg.
Right arm left leg.  Spread out in a cross shape.  Jumbled up into a ball
and let them stretch them out.  They do tend to want to take a nap in this
nice dark cozy warm tunnel tho.  But they are easy to find there.  (These
are the long sleeve, full leg coveralls, don't need to be insulated)
