Hi all dis is SaraFerret. Today I is doing a special greeting which is unusual as I donts get to do many gweetings anymore. Anyway Mommy Missy wrotes and requests specially for me to gweet her furdaughter, Bonnie Ferret. So, I gets to tells you all what happens. De other day, I was dere at de gate of de Rainbow Bwidge with Max, Ziggy, And Levon furbrothers of Bonnie who we hears was on her way over. Den we all sees dis beautiful ferret prancing across de bwidge on tippy-toes like a ballerina (dictionary again)--and we all thoughts she best be careful or she mights pirouette off de bwidge (dictionary again--sures gets heavy carrying dat around). She was just so pretty like a fwagile little flower. Den we starts yelling Hey Bonnie, cool it or yous is gonna bounce right offa dere. She has a shocked look on her face and blushes--geesh she turns red and we can see its from here giggle. Den I guess we scares her as she stops still and starts crying--I am so scared so I runs out dere and we bounces de rest of de way across. We alls apologizes for scaring her. And den she looks at me and says Who ary you? I is Ms SaraFerret one of de gweeters here at de Bwidge. Uh-mmm why are you dwessed like dat--Is never seen a ferret dat looked like you. Well a big tear fell fwom my eyes, followed by lots of tears. Oh she said I didnt mean it--forgive me--I is so bad--forgives me--I oftens opens my mouth befores I puts my mind in gears. Sniffling I accept her words. I tells her dat when I cames to de bwidge I had no hair except a tiny bits of fuzz on my face (but my mommy loved me as naked and smelly from dat lympho stuff in spite of all dat)--but Sandee the chief gweeter had given me an outfit which had changed over de years to a pink pith helmet with netting no less and pink shirts and pink shorts and sometimes tennis shoes (pink of course). I hads a real bad habit of biting peoples without warning but dat it was gone now but de Boss was so happy wit how Is looked dat He left me dat way and den last Christmas He gives me a fluffy tail. Oh she said--Wowsie what a gorgeous tail--its always brushed it looks like--yep I tells her its de only vain ting about me. Well Bonnie and her business was so happys to see each other dey wanted to take her to dere new home. Wait, I say and dey all stood still. Business first, gotta get Bonnie signed up in de Boss's book and so we twotted over to de big pwace where kits and older lady ferrets in charge make de wings and halos and hammies. When Bonnie saw dis she went WOWSIE! how will I ever choose. Okay Ms Merry Ferret one of de elderly ferret ladies came over wit a special new outfit for Ms Bonnie. Just perfect for her. A soft orange--very pale almost golden pair of wings wit no glitter, but it sparkled and it had ribbons entertwined thru them (I can foresee a new fad for de girly furries beginning wit de ribbons). And we stwaps dems on her and dey just fits. And of course de beautiful halo with ribbons entertwined and hanging fwom it. Hmmmm--what did was de Boss tinking of. Dere will be girly ferrets demanding ribbons--I can just see it. And she twies it on and it looks beautiful and she twirls round in de outfit and she does look like a ballerina angel furry style of courses. And de Hammie was just in tune wit dose tings. A bwight golden hammie-- and a handful of blue ribbons for Ms Bonnie to entertwine her hammie wit. Oh Bonnie says I is just so happy, but I feels so sads dat I left Mommy Missy cwying-- I tells her dat she can always see Mommy tru de reflecting pool and later when she gets tru probation she can slide down a comet tail and sneak up when Mommy Missy sleep and whisper sweet dooks in her ears. I do dat to Mommy all de time but I wakes her ups as I has to have her write all I tells her--no wonders dat my Mommy is always tired. We all gather around singing in one big circle and dancing and den de boys do a special one of a kind war dance in Ms Bonnie's honor And den we twotted offs to dere new pwace. And dere it was a beautiful golden castle (well not really but close) made of twigs of forsythia (dictionary agains) and yellow flowers and all sorts or golden and orange bright with color and blues--and dey picked up Ms Bonnie and carrys her across de door way. And de boys runs and puts up her hammie and sets up de food and kibble and iced tea (all ferrets love iced tea and pepsi--my mommy said my free roaming days I always got to her pepsi buts when I dwank it spills it all over chairs--Mommy very unhappy den.) Oh and of course cookies were out. And fwiends dropped in and where did every one come from even some otters were dere--I tought dis was a far distance for dem to be but oh well. Apparently Paulie Otter had fallen in love wit de vision of Ms Bonnie when shewas dwessed in gold and was determines to be her gentleman fwiend. Oh wow, he was tongue tied (unusual for an otter) and he presented her wit a bouquet of gold tinged with red roses in a vase and he kisses her on de paw. Oh-oh I can see a big romance. So Mommy Missy Bonnie and Paulie are a couple--purely platonic but you can see de lovelights dancing in dere eyes. Ah romance! Bonnie wants Mommy Missy to knows dat she is so happy and for her nots to cwy as she wills be seeing her tru de reflecting pool and Mommy can see her special star wit de orange ribbons hanging from it in de sky--dat way Mommy will know dat Bonnie is ok. So Mommy Missy when you reads dis be sures to catch de kiss she sent along wit dis letter-be careful dey will get away if you dont gwab dem right away. And be sure to catch her love. Hugs, dooks, and most of all Peace On Earth Ms SaraFerret [Posted in FML issue 4809]
