Personally, I say buy those raffle tickets! But then again, I'm not the one who would be eating the ferret treats if I won them. So I asked the boss of the house, Anabel, what she thought about the SOS personnel buying raffle tickets. She replied: "And steal my toys and treats? I don't think so, girlfriend. You can tell those SOS gals to just keep their paws off of any raffle tickets, or I'm gonna poof!" (She's quite the unruly albino.) At least, that's what I got out of it. In reality, she marched over to the nearest litterbox, and pooped next to it. Maybe I'm just reading too far into it, and she's really okay with the whole thing, too. And besides, she's descented. Next time, I just won't ask. -- Ildiko, with Anabel, Howard, and Percival the Stumpy [Posted in FML issue 4250]
