To the pleasure of the ferrets, for the past year I've had a bit of a balance problem (when someone says I'm dizzy they know what they are talking about ;-)). I can be walking normally and all of a sudden loose my balance. Ferret furniture is strategically placed in the rooms so that I don't fall down, only tip over onto something. With so many little free roam furballs I've learned to compensate, very well I might add, and occassionally my balance antics elicit a giggle from me and they delight the ferrets (I guess they see it as sort of a slow motion dance of joy because I can be just as uncoordinated as them!). The other day I was moving a freshly showered 4 level funnel cage out of the tub (by myself) and as I headed towards the bathroom door I lost my balance. There I stood, cage in hands, tottering on one foot, knowing that I couldn't drop either of us for fear of landing on one of the many ferrets at my feet. My mind battled my body as I looked down to see several furry little bodies watching intently, all of us suspended in time for what seemed like forever but was probably only a minute or two. As my mind overcame my body I was able to gain my balance and continue on with my task at which time the little ones became quite joyfully animated. Ahhh, the things we do to keep our little ones entertained. Warm 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 3303]
