Ok - I have reached my human bounds with this lil guy. He begins his day (after I get home from work) - by "coming out to play". He unfortunately, thinks this time is for "coming out to terrorize the entire family unit. He begins his tirade by leaping up and down (yes, like a bunny) - straight up in the air and launching for my calves (not the moo kind). After drawing significant blood from me, he turns and chases the dog into the walls, and corners and proceeds to gnaw on him until the poor pitiful dog - comes screaming to Mommy - with fert firmly attached to his tail. After detaching fert from dog - I set him down (while scooting dog outside) again. Off he goes in search of the cats. Chases cats to top of fridge and stands at the bottom - literally, jumping up and down and "dooking" at them. He tires of this rather quickly, after oh, about an hour - and heads off to find Helena and Romulus. They have gotten smart and which ever way he goes - they go the opposite! Unfortunately, he finds them and begins the terrorizing of them. Nothing scares him. Nothing.....except......tonite was bath night. Hehehehehe. Our revenge on Artemus. Or so we thought. I fill the tub to about 3 inches with ferretsheen and water. Helena and Romulus - love their tubby time. Artemus, however, thinks that we are trying to kill him. I placed him in the bubbles......I have never in my life seen a ferret look so terrified......he grabbed my wrist with his paws and dug in - refusing to let go. All the while, screaming (yes, I said screaming) at the top of his furry lungs......Now mind you, this is not his first bath - however, I think he dislikes it so much because he has to "slow down" while in the water. So sudsy, sudsy, rinsy, rinsy, dryie, dryie. Artemus, after leaving the tub - took one look at me - bit my toe - turned around and ran smack into the bathroom door. Ouch. He turned around again, bit my toe again, and ran into the door. This happened 3 times. My husband had to open the bathroom door - as Mommy, Helena and Romulus were all laughing our butts off. One soaked mommy - complete with scratched wrists, two sudsy ferts it was too much.......I think the best part was when i fell into the tub with Helena and Romulous (it got a bit slippery on the edge) - and continued laughing with sudsy ferts clambering all over me. What a fun night. Does anyone know where I can get some ferret valium? Kimberly Gorman [Posted in FML issue 3901]
