Hello Ferret Family, These ferrets sure are an ungrateful lot. They don't give me any time to do anything else but attend to their every need. They know I have all these thank-you cards to write, & they just keep eating & drinking, pooping, messing on the floor, leaving their toys around, needing meds & special feedings. They never help pick up, or do the laundry, or even answer their own phone calls. You would think that they could take a minute from their precious play time to fill a dish or a water bottle, noooooooo. It's more fun to pelt their cage, the floor, & me on occasion, w/the contents of their food dish. Do they care that every time they climb up to the top of 3 stacked cages that I have to drop everything to rescue them? Of course not, clear heads they are. They just do it again. There's so much more, but why complain. It wastes energy that I don't have to spare & solves nothing. <sigh> So I can say in all sincerity that IT'S THE FERRETS' FAULT that I haven't sent out Thank Yous to all the thoughtful & generous Santas. While they enjoy their new bedding, treats, toys, & have all their needs met - they should have gotten coal. OH NO, what a mess that would be! Dear Santas, please know that I'M very grateful for the kindness you sent our way. Juliana Quadrozzi FERRET BUSINESS of GA www.ferretbusiness.petfinder.com 770-984-1417 7:00pm-10:30pm P.S. I hope it's OK if I get them out before 12/24/05??? [Posted in FML issue 4757]
