Hiya folks, I was a wonderin if someone had lost de little kits that came across de bridge earlier. I should have known. At any rate there was a group of 8 teeny tiny kits that came wandering across de bridge. We had to run over and help dem as we tought dey were gonna fall off. Dey did have dere eyes open and dey had de prettiest fur--unlike regular kits I mean dey were gorgeous. Dey didnt seem to know where or what dey were doing dere. But as always we welcome de little kits as dey are so cute. We explained who we were and one of the spokes-kit of dat group asked me if I was dere mommy--wow I had big tears in my eyes--I told dem I would be happy to be dere mommy until dere real mommy came across--so dey all snuggled up to me (wow I guess motherhood comes natural when ya is a girl furry but I never had any babies as mommy had me spayed) Dey were so happy dat dey had found a mommy--I tells dem dat dere would be lots of us girl furries that would be all around. But I found de tiniest halos and miniature wings to put on dem--oh were dey proud of dose. We tried out a short lesson on flying and dey did dere best although Alexis--the spokes-kit did a nose dive at de beginning but den dey all picked it up and went on a very short tour -about 2 minutes. Dey wanted to know where dey were gonna eat as dey were babies and couldnt very well eat kibble and fruit. Well what to do. I trotted over to de Boss who had been dere watching de arrival and he says well SaraFerret you is a bright girl so you should be able to come up with someting. Eureka, I figured it out--I checked in de fridge and wouldnt you know it--bottles and bottles of de best furrie milk and very rich dat would tide dem over until dey realize dat dey were here and could eat kibble. Now here Is go-ferret #1 Alexis said she could waits a while until de littlest ones got dere feel. Finally (my arms felt like dey were dropping off) we finished de 8 bottles and den dey asked well substitute Mommy where is we gonna stay--well I tells dem dat I guess I would have to keeps dem wit me and dee rest of de boys in my business could learn how to feed and change diapers--yecchy. Dey will soon be litter trained (hope-hope). I got dem settled in and dey were so small dat one little hammie with side rails was enough to hold dem all in. We put de side rails in so dey wouldnt fall out. Dey sure was cute all nestled in and aaking happy little sleepy noises--wow did I feel like a mommy. Den--oh my--12 little kits came across de bridge soon after dat. Now us mustelids sure do love de little guys--dey are so sweet and innocent--but we is all dreading what hoomans call de terrible twos cuz even doe it is all perfect here dere is a learning period we alls gets to have. The 8 little kits and a whole bunches of other girl ferrets were watching in amazement as dey hopped skipped and jumped across de bride--now dese were live wires and we could see that our paws would be fulls. Luckily all dese girl ferrets could tink of how good dere mommies had been (de fortunate ones who were raised wit dere mommies and not on a furry farm) and so we didnt have to run and get dem dey just danced dere little ways into our hearts. Dey were such sweeties. No names yet, but I am sure Sandee and I can work on dose. Even Sandee as busy as she was ran over excitedly and offered to take four in but we decided some experienced mommies who hung out togetters would be best. So 6 mommies who had had kits who had been taken away from dem at an earlier age became de proud mothers of 12 little kits complete with really miniature haloes and wings. Dey were jes little dolls and dere were oohs and ahs all over de place. Now later when Mommy gets backs from her much needed vacation we wills have names for de new ones. Mommy is sad as one of her older furkids is sick and may not live till she comes back but her dd is going to ferret sit until mommy comes back-- mommy sure needs a rest. So until den, Hugs and dooks to all of you and to de brave soldiers of whatevers wars hoomans do to stir tings up--de Boss sends His loves as it donts matter which side dey are on--dey are all His children. Bye for nows SaraFerret and mommys [Posted in FML issue 4529]
