We made it!!! The fur kids did great too! It was a long trip - 875 miles of Da Momma going 95 mph (uhm, that was when noone was wookin....) - but we got here in 11 hours. I only had to stop once, to "water down" the kidlets and then they were fine. They don't appreciate the humidity out here , but are liking the hotel room! When we first pulled in, Lucy (AKA - Helena, who always does the best) - crawled up on the bed, and under da cubbers and fell sound asleep. I didn't notice it - until I saw Ricky, wandering around in circles, looking forlorn and sad.....and couldn't figure out why! I picked him up, cuddled, played and put him down and he STILL was wandering looking lost..... then I realized Lucy was nowhere to be found (well in his ferrity eyes anyways).... I knew where she was, but he didn't.....so I rescued her from under the warm covers (for which I received one ferrity chomp) and thwapped her on the floor with him.....he (and I have never seen this before...) - grabbed her by the scruff of her fuzzy neck and dragged her over to the cage - nudged her until she crawled in. He promptly curled around her and fell asleep for the next 11 hours....ain't that sumfin? We have gone for a few walks - and of course, EVERYONE I see thinks they are adorable (well could that be - because ALL ferrets ARE adorable??) I have to answer numerous questions - and that is BEFORE I even make it out of the hotel for the walk! Hehehe! I do love "educating" the public.... most of the people really seem to be "ferret stupid"....i.e., questions such as: Don't they bite ALL the time, and HARD? Please, let me have your hand....I'll show you who bites hard.....*grins*....so I patiently explain to them that ferrets are the BEST pets - and everyone should at least have two! (gotta have a pair for company for each other....) I patiently explain that they DON'T stink horribly, and go thru the rest of the "ferret education" lessons......but honestly, I really like walking them more than I did my kids when they were babies!!! Least now when people tell me they are cure, I KNOW they are telling the truth!! Dooks to all!! Kim and her Mini Army of Idiots [Posted in FML issue 4510]
