Hi to all especially Mommy Stephanie. Well all, I rounded up Roly's business as I hears he was coming to de Bwidge. Wit me was Chance and Winkwomp, and Bilbo. Dey was just a jumpin and war dancin in prep for Roly's passage. Dey keeps bugging me, Ms SaraFerret cans we runs out on de bwidge to get Roly when we sees him. No way, you furkids will just bounce de bwidge and fall off on your heads and I donts really wants to get out de bandages. Besides I is no fan of blood. Ok Ms Sara whatevers you say. Den we saw him and wowsie he was really a bouncer type --instead of holdin on he was war dancin across de bwidge-- kinda dangerous but ohs well. I decide I has better cut his bouncing short befores this wild group decides to join him in a-bouncin. I runs out dere and caughts Roly mid bounce. He looks at me and says OOPS I almost slips. Yeppers I says, dats not de best way to cwoss. So it took all my strength and we bounced acwoss de west of de bwidge together. I was just worn to a frazzle by den. And den it was a greeting time wit all war dancing and whooping and dooking until everyone's has bounced demselves out. I introduces myself and he says well Ms SaraFerret Mommy told me all abouts you and how yous and Sandee and Muldoone gweets all de fewwets cwossing.I sees you now has a beautiful tail--May I touch it. Sure I tells him--and says maybe next year de Boss will gets me a new fur body coat. He says your tail is sooo nice. I tells Roly dat his Mommy Stephanie said he has lots of energy and I and de Boss have a gweat job for him to do to works off dat energy, but first. We gots to gets you fixed up wit new outfits like wings and a halo. He just gwinned and said wowsie a halo--like cool. Dese younger ferrets have a different way of talking sorta like hooman teen-agers. He says he is kinda wore out now what wit bwidge crossing and meeting his business. And den we pops over to de Kits and Ladies Wearables--a new place for de younger ferrets as dey are into wild colors and we (de Boss) decided we should starts appealing to de younger kids. In we all went-each one trying to be first--kinda tight squeeze and flashing neon lights and rock music --oh mercy--I had not been here before, but I knew it was going up. And den all de kits and older ferrets started dancing to de music--twust me yous has never seen war dancing till dere are a tousand kits all hoppin around. Okay folks we has business, OOPS-ya coulda heard a pin drop. Quiet. Okays Roly we gots to get you fixed up wit new wings and halos. THere it was justa laying dere looking at him and he says dats de one I would like--please Ms SaraFerret can I have dis one. Well I tells him apparently de Boss tought dat dis would just be ROly's type and so it was made specially for him. A sparkly wed, whites, and blues--really wit all sorts or sparklys--no ways could dat ferret sneat up on anyone--he shone like a beacon -- we fastened de wings on him--oops it didnt fit just right and den Mama of all de kits produced her ever present tape measure and it was fixed in a jiffy. and den de halo in de same covers. Oh was he pwecious and all de young kits just looks at him and smiles big. And den de Boss actually came to meet Roly--who just stood dere wit his mouth open-and he just pwained was silent. De Boss says now Roly dats no way to gweets Me So Roly bounces up to de Boss and He puts outs His arms and Roly just bounces into His loving arms and den Roly cwied for a bit saying he missed his hooman. De Boss says well Roly one day your hooman will cwoss dat very bwidge as she is such a good person we knows she is a coming. De Boss wiped de little Roly's eyes and put him down on de floor and den de Boss kisses him on de cheek and den passes round kisses to all. Den little Mercy Kit, squeaked up and says Roly you are so handsomes dat I makes a specially hammie for you and held out a beautiful wed, whites and blues hammie and a new pwaymat and new curtains for Roly. Roly blushes as you could see Ms Mercy kinda flirted wit Roly. He says aw ahucks and tings like dat. So we wraps up all his new tings and wit halo and wings we went to his digs. Just perfect--you could see how hard his business had worked on cleaning up de pwace. Curtains were now hung and de hammie was in its place and of course de pwaymat. Dey had hot tea and cookies for his party. Dey invites me and I stays for a while tinking wowsie I has gots to get back to de bwidge. But I was so tired. Anyways I tells Roly dat tomorrows me and de other gweeters would take de new crossed ferrets on a tour of Ferretland. Dey begs me to stay, but den I yawned. So wit politeness and a dozen cookies Ms SaraFerret's takes off down de road to de bwidge while she was hoping she would fall asleep in hers tracks and when she reaches de bwidge while eating a cookie, she fell fast asleep wit a smile on hers face. What a glorious life went de toughts in her mind Dooks, loves and nosekisseys (I learned dat in ermineland) SaraFerret [Posted in FML issue 4938]
