ok, so yeah, in the 8 years i've raised ferrets, i've never had one quite like my ari. they've all been well behaved and not so obnoxious :) apparently all the ferrets i have raised have not been 'ferret like' - they've never stowed anything away, much less cause any trouble. ari is the obvious exception. the other day i purchased a box of little debbie swiss cake rolls. i had eaten two packages, and left the rest in a bag on my kitchen floor. now ari is a super ferret - he drags EVERYTHING to my living room couch and promptly tries to hide it under there - including my 20 hole boots, various empty taco bell taco wrappers, and so forth. so i was severely craving a little debbie, so i went to the box. and lo and behold, the box was empty. knowing that my little monster had some part in this, i went to my cheap-ass mexican couch, which isn't a real couch, its just a bunch of wood with some springs and maybe a little padding and some fabric to make it look good. tilting on its side, i found everything i had been missing over the past few months, including: - 2 pairs of my lower boots, that i thought i had lent out to people, but only had been stowed by ari. - my 2 hairbrushes which i thought i lost when i was on vacation so i bought a new one - a package of toilet paper - 4 roll pack, that frustrated me so because i could not find it - and, of course, 4 packages of little debbie swiss cake rolls, neatly tucked away. it just made me laugh, and reminded me how much i love my little fuzzies. i dont know how i could go without these monsters. :) thought i'd share :) xo ^b^ - and my vicious beast, ari :) -=<^o^>=-------oOo--------=<^batty^>=-------oOo--------=<^o^>=- ICQ:4221310 [log in to unmask] AIM:LittleGothic COMING SOON: http://www.thebelfry.net WWWWWAAAAAARGH! -Martin Bowes -=<^o^>=--------oOo---------=<^o^>=--------oOo---------=<^o^>=- [Posted in FML issue 3024]
