Hi everyone, Someone requested funny stories a week or so back. Here's my latest with Bubba. Bubba is my 3.5 pound monster. He was going to be a foster, but I ended up keeping him because I'd never had a ferret this big before! I named him Bubba because, well, he just looks like a Bubba. He's big and cute and clumsy. And nasty. Bubba is constantly knocking the bathroom garbage can over and playing inside. He hangs out around the toilet, and (yuck) behind the toilet. I keep the bathroom door closed now, but there are times it doesn't latch and he pushes it open. "Toilet-leak Day" was one of those days. The tank was slowly leaking onto the floor behind the toilet, creating a, well, sludge is the best word to describe it. I'm in the kitchen, doing whatever, and go down the hall. The bathroom door is open, and Bubba is not in sight. I went into the bathroom and Bubba is behind the toilet, gleefully laying on his back, flapping his legs, splashing in the sludge! I reached for him, and of course, he thought we were playing and took off running, sludge flying everywhere. I caught up with him in the kitchen, but not soon enough. The little creep dived in the cats' water bowl!!!!! I mean, he took a running leap right into the bowl! (He's always liked the water bowls (they're huge) and is always climbing inside one to work on his backstroke.) Needless to say, Bubba the Sludge King got his first ever bath after that. And the cats got clean bowls. The toilet has since been fixed, and Bubba has moved on to the cat litter boxes to hone his digging abilities. Susan [Posted in FML issue 3907]
