Hello, Lately, I think I am going bonkers with the numbers game..I have had these 12 ferrets for a while now. A couple months ago, I decided to let them run the house for a while. But, when I went to put them back in their room I couldn't remember who I put in and who I was looking for. This was the first time in my life I had to make a list. Now I find myself making a list for everything. Who did I put front line on who still needs ferret lax? When I put them outside for a while in a cage. I always do it in 4's. Some have changed their coats so I have to look at them closely. Last night, I realized I am really having problems. I decided to go into the monkey room and give each one a hug and kiss goodnight along with hiding treats for them to find. There were 2 different groups moving around in two different areas. So, I decided to count to see if everyone was in sight. I counted 13. I realized I was a little tired, but I never thought that tired. So, off again I started counting and came up with 12. I stood there dumbfounded trying to figure out how I came up with 13. I decided the next best thing was to make sure all animals were secured for the night and head straight for bed. I have had ferrets for over 1 1/2 years and this has never happened before. I had decided over 5 months ago I would not take in any more ferrets unless it was to help to Business of GA. Oh, by the way my Young and Restless Actress is still eating good and on her own. She was recently taken off the antibiotics for pasturella. Please keep your fingers crossed. I want her to get better so fast, she is such a sweet ferret. She would make a nice companion for anyone with children. She was raised in a classroom with kids. But, unfortunatly they carried her all the time. She is a little ackward in the walking department. But, she has an attitude of Gold. Hopefully, she will be returning to the Ferret Business of GA to be ready for adoption. So, if you are interested sometime in the future. Hopefully, she will be there. She is spoiled. I do have a tendency to go and get her around 4 am when my husband is gone to snuggle with. She lays right there like a bundle of fur dreaming pretty thoughts. Talk to everyone later. Just wanted to share on of my recently experiences of goofiness. Benita [Posted in FML issue 3736]
