Oooh, reflux! NOT fun! I've awakened to that a number of times myself, choking and gasping for air, hanging out of bed, downhill so it would drain out! NOT fun at all! *Argh!* Here's a goofy thought: a series of spoon shaped "bowls", each one larger and shaped more like a real bowl, until you end up with a real bowl! *LOL* Before long, the ferret would be eating from a regular bowl and not even realize the change. *hehe* Don't mind me - I'm always thinking of oddball things! :o) Gary, Bart and Victoria [Posted in FML issue 4292]
