A while back, and quite by accident, I found another unique way to entertain my furkids and treat them to a new and exciting experience. At the time I was undergoing physical therapy which required exercises done with the legs while laying on the floor. One day while my ferrets were out enjoying their free roam, I began the routine and found myself surrounded by enthusiastic fuzzies, all intent on putting some real fun into my therapy. Nada attached herself to my pantleg and hung on with determination. When I lowered my leg, she immediately gained access to that exciting tunnel presented to her by the lower opening of my slacks and began her exploration of 'what's inside?' Then Cinco and TT began climbing over my prone body in their excited attempt to join in the fun. Cinco walked across my face and began tugging on my hair. TT began a happy dance on my tummy and it was then I realized my furkids thought I was playing with them. I had to stand up to shake Nada away from the sensitive skin of my lower leg and when I did this, all three fuzzies went nuts! My 'kids' had turned a boring routine into a thing of joy. It's an on and off practice with us now to keep things moving in my ferrets' world. Some of you may like to try this too, but make sure you trim your fukids' nails first. lol Cordially, Greta Hoisington [Posted in FML issue 4192]
