Condolences to those with lost, sick, or angeled blanket bouncers... (Hey! We can jump off the back of the futon right into this blanket and then mphhfmpfmhmmmfhhfff, and then get out and do it all over again! Weeeeee!) Hi. My name is Todd and I'm a Ferret Plucker [Hi, Todd.]. I've been plucking ferrets for about 7 years now. [Atta boy, Todd! Get it off your chest! (brief applause)] I started shortly after getting my first ferret--Mysti-Ferret. She would curl up in a T-Sleeper and wouldn't always wake up when it was time to come out and play. So I would reach in and "pluck" her out of her bed and set her on the floor. She looked SO cute, waking up slowly, then realizing that she was OUTSIDE! Ever since then, I've been plucking ferrets right and left. I pluck them from sleep sacks. I pluck them from hammocks. I pluck them from boxes. I pluck them from bags. I pluck them from blankets and T-Sleepers and from chairs and from rags. I pluck them up, as they run past my seat. Sometimes they forget, to stop their little feet! I pluck them from trash cans and pretzel jugs and hidey-holes. I pluck them from the computer desk, and from digging out my shoe's soles! I pluck them from tabletops and from shelves and from steps. I pluck them from the kitchen and from my bill-paying desk! Hey...I've even been known to pluck them from each others cages, where they were munching from other ferrets dishes! (Someone's been laying in my hammock! Someone's been laying in *my* T-Sleeper! And someone's been eating our *food*!!!) Ain't life as a plucker grand? :) Todd and the (PluckPluckPluck...where's that chicken I just heard?)
