I just wanted to thank Kat Parsons for sharing her picture of her "unusual" but definitely ferret-proof Christmas tree! I got a huge chuckle and passed it along to everyone on my list - ferret lovers AND non ferret lovers, just to show all the people who are weasel-deprived exactly what we go through to have holiday trimmings and still keep the fuzzies out of trouble. In case anyone missed it, here's the link again: http://www.geocities.com/xmaskity/graphics/OurTree-01.jpg Thanks again Kat!! I bet at least a few of us follow your example for next year! -Heather Wojtowicz Massachusetts Owned and operated by 6 whirling weasels since 1997 [Posted in FML issue 3635]
