Hey All, I actually have a non joking, real question. I was thinking about playing a soft music C.D. for my spoiled babes-in-furland. However, I am well aware that sometime ferts can sleep very deeply. AKA The Fert Death Sleep. Most of mine, if I make much noice when I'm checking on them for the evening, when I'm going to bed, they hear me. Okay, my question is, Would a ferret hear music in their litttle dreamy heads as they are sleeping? Would they possibly sleep easier, as well? Would it possibly calm an allegic type ferret(he's been itchy for years, when it's really bad, Benadryl. I've cortisone shampoo for him as well.) Anyway, does anyone think that music while they're sleeping, AKA "recharging" would soothe them even if they are not aware that they're hearing it(Ferret-sub-conciously). It's a C.D. called "Heavenly Presence", very appropriate for our sweet furry angels, dontcha think?!? When I feeding Princess in the rocking chair(by then it was by spoon only) I think she liked the soft music I played for her, actually I know she did. I just wish I had this C.D. then for her too.(it's a very beautiful,soothing C.D.) But I think by this point, she may have been hearing her own Heavenly music from those at the Bridge, getting ready to call her to join them. Thanks for any thoughts on this music idea. If you think I'd be just wasting electricity, you can tell me,just tell me nicely,okay. Oh, I have already had a little message from Princess! But, because I am still pretty fragile when it comes to talking about her, and with that and the stress of my upcoming surgery, I think I'll just keep it to myself. I'll tell only those who write to me privately. Sorry folks, but I'm just not up for our slammer o' th' week just now. Thanks to you all. You are the most caring, awesome people I have ever known. I NEVER could even started to get through Princess's passing, and my medical mess without you. You mean more to me than you know.(I hope that maybe you have an idea at least!) May 04 bring us all the furry best of everything. Sue & Crew: Nikki, Oscar, Annie, Sammy, Chance, & Storm Watching from the Bridge: Smokey,Bandit, Boots, Samantha,baby "Lucky" & taking a very well deserved rest, My beloved Princess(that's the first time I wrote her name there, that was harder than I thought. *Note to Princess.. There is a possibility that Nikki will be coming to play with you sooner that I'd ever thought. Her Adrenal came back too. We'll find out next week.(same time as my surgery). Mommy misses you precious girl. [Posted in FML issue 4385]
