Hi All - It's been a long time since I've posted - But the collars is something I know about - My gang wears bell collars - I don't like the ferret collars - I use the kitten collars with the rubber band that breaks fairly easily -My husband found a roll of the rubber band stuff and fixes the broken ones for me - Yes.....they take them off each other and hide them a lot so I get a couple of new ones every so often - But after a while they get so they will leave them on - Mine have been wearing them for years but at lest once a week some one will be going in "stealth mode" around here and have to have a re-placement applied - And I tell you what.......they know when they are collarless...........they will run up behind me and attack.........."HA!!!!!!!!! DIDN'T HEAR THAT COMIN', DID YA' OLE' LADY"!!!!!!! Then they run off.....talking all kinds of trash !!!!!!!!!! After my baby boy Junior (aka. Junebug) died,I was cleaning and moving stuff around and I found one of his hiding places........there all neatly arranged was 3 tub stoppers and 4 collars !!!!!!!! What a STASH!!!! It still makes me cry and feel nice and warm at the same time - Shoot !!!!!!!!! Made myself cry agian !!!! Love to all those missing babies and caring for sick ones - Mindy, Joey , Lucy and Elvis...........With Stinky, Junior (you mean she found my stash ?????), Sally, and Fatboy Slim (mom had to get me CAT size........kitten, smitten.......that for lil' wimps), and all the others watching over us all........enjoying the show !!!!!!!!
