Hi everyone...I am glad that I am not alone...I have stepped on a ferret before, luckily with no injuries. I always look where I sit, and where I walk. A few days ago, I got in a fight with a plastic carpet runner--- wrong side up, (it was cleaning day)--trying not to step on Abbygayle who thought my feet were playing a game with her....I missed the ferret, and the floor, and landed face down on the carpet runner...I have a very interesting pattern on my left leg from knee to toes (blood and all--I was wearing shorts) Then nursing my wounds, I ploped down on the couch only to feel a lump...needless to say I popped up off the couch expecting to see a fuzzy there but just the remote...there goes a couple years off the heart...I felt like all 3 of the 3 Stooges :-) thank goodness no one saw! and you are all sworn to secrecy!!!! :-) Pam and Abbygayle, Carrot, Emmy Mischief, Ruby and Skippy [Posted in FML issue 3455]
