Hey Ya'll,
 
Well, I figgered the fml has gotten way too serious so we all need some
silliness.  I will try to oblidge.
 
I am going to take a day off for the biting stuff, I haven't yet decided
how to write about the symptoms.  I am one of those folks who think and
form everything in their heads and then take 5 minutes to write it out.
 
Yesterday was a bad day for biting round here.  I don't know if it is the
stars, the weather or holdling my tongue wrong (as my Grandma used to say)
but everyone turned into heathens.
 
Treska, the ferret formerly known as Shredder, has been very good around
here.  But yesterday, after admitted tormenting by a fellow ferret lover,
she nipped medium hard.  I took and verbally chastized her and put her on
the couch.  She then proceeded to kill a throw pillow, attacking each corner
in turn and jumping up and down on it.
 
In other words, she threw a temper tantrum. ;-)
 
I wished I had my camera handy.  It was so funny and such a perfect example
of a ferret having learned appropriate outlets for their anger.
 
My second biggest problem at my house is poop.  It is everywhere.  Of
course, letting a dozen ferrets run free at a time (I have two large play
groups) has nothing to do with it.  Huh uh.  I just won't go there.  I
think it is poop fairies coming in and leaving presents to make the ferrets
look bad.  You know how mischievious fairies can be.
 
I know this is my fault, since I don't cage them enough to train them to a
box well.  Or perhaps not, since the worst offenders are all boys.  It is
that testosterone poisoning thing.  Makes them think with the wrong body
parts.  And it wouldn't be so bad if they could get the corner thing.  But
in the middle of the floor?  Not a happy suprise when walking to the toilet
in the middle of the night.
 
The Mob is closing its unhat the weasel contest.  And no, it isn't as dirty
as it sounds.  Just trying to guess how long it took a ferret to get an
elizabethan collar off, put on by Dr. Lust and Drool on Animal Planet.
 
And to clarify a post of mine, nope, I didn't get a tattoo.  Got body
piercings.  hehe.  A modern day hippy.  What can I say?  The tattoo is still
in the future, but will be done.  And i am back to a dark auburn hair color,
about what it was in high school.  I refuse to grow up and you can't make
me.  Naaa naaa naaa.
 
Kiss all the babies for me,
