Dooks! Quick note: The Fuzzie Photo of the Week is at Dookranch.com. No "s" in there. OK, I'm a moron...but I was all excited 'cause my little Bitsy won! (Be sure to scroll down the page past the adorable pic of Bandit.) She is also getting the same pic published in a coffee-table type book soon. I'm SO proud of her! Bitsy- "I told you I would make it onto the coffee table some day!" Jeepers- "Let me know what it's like up there, huh?" Question for BIG: Will there be an 'advertising' FML for this holiday season? [Moderator's note: It's a little late for it, but OK, let's do it. I'll send a formal post, hopefully tomorrow. BIG] I just got a brand new Ferret Freeway. (A 20' long clear tunnel) If you don't have one, go out and buy one RIGHT NOW! It is by far my kids favorite toy, always has been. We live in a split level house, so we have 2 half sets of stairs (walled on both sides, carpeted, very safe) I put one end of the tunnel at the top of the stairs, and the other stretches down into the den. When Buddha ran into the top end, I 'twisted' the tunnel so he slid down the tube on his back. He LOVED it! A few minutes later, I saw another ferret do it, all by himself. And another. One after another, they would slide down the freeway, sometimes bunching up at the bottom (like the traffic generally does in Vegas.) Every time one thought up a new technique, the rest learned it almost instantly. Even my (ex)feral kitten Cricket joined in the circus, running from end to end and pouncing on emerging ferrets. We played for almost TWO hours! I accomplished nothing else the rest of the afternoon... but it was definitely time well spent! COMING SOON! 24 Carat Ferret and 21stCenturyFerret.com will be holding an Adopt-a-thon. All these babies are guaranteed not to poop on your floor or steal your socks...and you don't even have to feed them, they're already stuffed! Ever wanted a koala bear? How about a moose? Maybe just one more ferret to steal your heart? Watch for details Nov. 2nd. All proceeds benefit 24 Carat Ferret and several very patient vets! That's enough outta me.
