Hi all, as you hopefully all know SaraFerret (me) is temporary gatekeeper at de bridge until Sandee's Hooman is back in shape. (Sandee warned me that if I screw up I will be in detention for such a long time--shudder) Well I saw dis beautiful ferret trotting across de bridge (I should look that good). I introduced myself and she asked where was Sandee as that was who she had been told was the gatekeeper. I told her I was a temp and she looked at me and sort of sniffed--I admitted to her that it is quite a shock seeing a girl ferret decked out in a safari outfit --topee and all with a halo (bent) over her hat and bent wings (as I never remember to unstrap them when I goes to sleep). Well after I explained why I wasnt the perfect beauty that is usually up here (de Boss laughed at me when he saw me at de bridge dat he decided to keep my small head de way it was because he said I was always good for a laugh--guess all dat perfection gets to Him sometimes) well den she said well that sounds good and she had to admit it was kinda cute outfit. Well I got dis beautiful ferret all decked out with de halo and de strap-on wings and I said well den we will check out possibilities as to where she might want to stay--well she wants new ferrets to hang around with but she still wants to see her buddies that had been there before--I asked her well didnt you see all dem sitting on clouds shouting hey girl when you came across. She said she didnt as she had been rather nervous. But she did say when she got thru laffing at my appearance that it did put her more at ease. I told her dat she had her choices if she wanted--dere were the blue clouds and pink clouds and gray clouds or a mixture of dem. Or she could hang her hammie and toys close to de boys who hang around de kibbles garage. Well she informed me she wasnt that kind of girl--told her I didnt mean dat but sometimes girls gets tired of hanging wit just girls and sometimes de guys are good for laffs after dey fall all over demselves when they spot a pretty girl furry. She said well I can understand dat. But I tells her we is all equal here no matter how pretty or fetchin we was on de earth before our last travel. So she decides on de pink clouds and wow did she start decorating I mean dis girl is a genius interior decorator--before I knew it--a canopy hammie was hanging and another fancy lace hammy from new toys she found up here as we all know we bring nothing but ourselves across de bridge. She did wonder how I knew her name and all. I said well her mommy posted to de writing of de ferret parents and dat was how my mommy knew and she wanted to pass on her love of Hannah and all to her. She sniffled a little bit and a large tear went down the side of her face. She said are dey really upset--I was so afraid dey would be as dey wanted me to stay longer but it was my time to cross de bridge-not like I wanted to go. So dey gave me permission to cross and end all dat pain--like me she doesnt care for dat 24/7 pain trip. But she was so happy now dat she saw all de pretty things here. I told her dat tomorrow after she was settled in because I knew dat showing too much in one day can be quite taxing--I would show her all de other pretty things--I showed her where de fruit and kibble buffet were--esp. for the girls- caus dey dont much care for de guys kibble garage. Oh and she admired de layout--I glowed and told her dat I had helped in fixing a special place for us girls to eat wit lacy things and all dat. She wanted me to pass on to her parents not to worry--she understood all and dat she was so happy to be painfree and able to fly and all dat. I knew dat would make her parents happy. On another subject--sigh--dont anyone ever listen--de fml is still bickering in public yet. It looks so bad specially for us furries up here to see parents misbehave in public. It isnt nice to argue publicly in front of your furkids--it makes dem nervous. So until another time I will say farewell SaraFerret [Posted in FML issue 4391]
