If I could only bottle it. I would be rich...... Lastnight, thinking I am going to eat my dinner hot. The only day Monday that Piccadilly's has liver and onions. I got a phone call from the petstore a lady was up there with her two sons. I told them I am on my way. You got it. They had a ferret they didn't want. It's another drama. But, after I talked to her. I did thank her for coming in the store instead of what someone else did weeks ago. This little girl has to be approx. 7-8 weeks. I haven't had a ferret that small or energetic in this house in a while. Usually, I take them to the shelter as soon as I get my hands on them. But, since I have to take some ferts there on Sat. for an overnight stay. I decided to take her then. My Y&R actress will be her host. I decided this morning to put a bell on the active little creature. With her size and energy I could loose her. Mine have gotten to be creatures of habit. Every once in a while one will throw me for a loop. What fun to watch her try to run from the sound of the bell. She is so tired but she won't stop except for a moment break. I decided to put her in the frontal pack to ease her down to a slumber or try to get her on track with the other guys..... We are a routine bunch around her. Everyone snuggles in to a schedule. We usually don't totally wake up around here until 10 when my husband is away..... What a pleasure to see one so young and full of happiness... Hopefully, she and some others will be adopted this weekend. She has already been to three places in 2 weeks. Here's a frighten story.... You leave your Mike and Ike's on the coffee table. You are thinking Sasha the "Sweet Tooth Bandit" is sleep with her brother Fang on the couch. You go up stairs to check your e-mails... You come downstairs. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH, the Mike and Ike's are gone. You flip up the covers both ferrets are gone. It was a trap.... You look by the couch.... The box.... You decide whether to pick it up or not.... Would it be empty or as full as you left it....... You reach down and pick it up...... There are a lot still left... You sigh. But, where is Sasha... I decide it may be a time for ferret lax. You hear smacking and you look down.... Sasha has got candy stuck in her teeth....... It reminds you of a dog with peanut butter..... I reach in and take out as much as I can.... At least it was one of the red ones...... I hate the red ones..... I might have put her outside if it was one of the yellow or orange ones :). She is safe..... But, no more Mike and Ikes for you my dear... Nite - Nite..... We'll off to see if I can thicken this little girl up... Send me and e-mail of any Halloween Names we can give her...... She has already figured out how to escape the frontal pack. The others I have would have just laid there. We'll were off... Hugs to your fur children and sympathy to the fml family who have lost some. Benita [Posted in FML issue 3951]
