I would like to thank everyone for the help they offered with my keyboard problems...luckily my father had a few stashed away somewhere in the shed.....i had to fight spiders and mice to get to it but it was worth it.......i never thought or appreciated how much easier a keyboard actually is. so everyone hug your keyboard and appreciate how much it does for you LOL! Noodles is doing fantastic....I had a little scare earlier today. I went into the room to check on her and she was just laying on her back and she appeared lifeless...I opened the cage door..she must have been playing possum to get me to open the door because her head popped up and she tried squeezing out of the cage LOL! She's eating like a little porker and her scratching has dropped tremendously. There are a few itches here and there but nothing NEAR what she was doing before she had the surgery. I cleaned out the newspaper in her cage and let her play on the bedroom floor for a few minutes and she was just sniffing around like crazy like she's never even seen the place. I think she feels a whole lot better than earlier. So I decided she would be able to use a corner litter box instead of pooping in the corner and she's using it with no problems.... she's had no diarreah poop....they've ALL been firm. They're a little darker than usual though.....would there be a reason for that? I went to her and said "cereal killer want some cereal???" and she perked her head up and STOOD ON HER BACK LEGS!!!! so of course we had to get her an apple jack :) she just loves cereal...i only give her about 3 pieces a day though. well, I just wanted to give you a little update and tell you how she's doing :) thanks for all your help~!!!!! -valerie noodles mojo and buckie ~*~*~ VALERIE ~*~*~ ,',', __ \ `'`,/ \ ()o=; `'`','`/ . \/ / ( / \" / \(_ \(_ ~*`~*`FERRETS RULE~`*~`* [Posted in FML issue 3841]
