The other night I was visiting on the telephone with Sonya and Scooby decided Maxim needed exercise so he touched him with his nose and off they went.... down the hallway.... in the bathroom... in the bathroom cabinet... out of the bathroom cabinet... out of the bathroom... up the hallway to the back bedroom.... behind the dresser... under the dresser... out of the bedroom back down the hallway... with me on their hot little tails the entire time trying to catch Maxim. Maxim is deaf and he isn't fond of other ferrets. He also had all 4 fangs cut so he isn't able to protect himself from the bullies (well he does latch on and give a good shake which frightens them off) so when someone is after him I help him. When I finally picked Maxim up he had to tell me, and Sonya, all about it. He is such a talker. Sonya enjoyed listening to his conversation but I warn anyone that listens to him, I think he adlibs a bit. :-) Hugs to all. tle Troy Lynn Eckart Ferret Family Services http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~sprite/ffs.html http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Haven/5481/ Please sign up to support our charity http://www.iGive.com/html/ssi.cfm?cid=46&mid=58395 [Posted in FML issue 3230]
