The Mighty Siegfried (Who crossed the bridge last April 15th) once got into (among other things) a basket of wedding candy. While I was unaware of this, I witnessed him hop to the corner and produce a large pool of bright red liquid stool. I stood dumbfounded and was ready to grab the carrier and whisk him off to the vet; when I came to my senses and realized that bloody stools are usually black and tarry, and a ferret loosing that much fresh blood would certainly show some other symptom of distress. Seeing that he was still happily bouncing around, I looked for an alternative possibility to his malady. In his cabinet stash I found some lace covered wedding favors and an almost entirely eaten individual size package of Twizzlers. I can't believe he ate the whole thing!!! Fortunately Siegfried suffered no harm from the incident, except that I locked him in early for getting onto the kitchen counter. -JAQ [Posted in FML issue 4090]
