ScoudderFerret approached Muldoone's bungalow and smartly rapped on the door. A bright cheery voice from within sang out "comes in" and Scoudder hurried inside. "I hears da news dat you wakes up!! Mully you be missted a bunch and I gwad you bees back" Scoudder told his friend. "We all bees worried bout you" and with that Muldoone's friend rushed at him, threw his arms around Mully and gave him a big hug. Muldoone blushed a little under his fur on his chubby cheeks; rarely did guy-ferrets openly display such affection, the girl ferrets at the Bridge were all huggy and kissy but that was not the way Mully and his friends were; they were rough-and-tough guy-ferrets, they had an image to maintain. "Mully, you bees asweep for a very wong time and we not kno if you wakes up 'gain or not. What it be wike when you bees asweep? Did you dweams? Did you hears us talkin to you?" ScoudderFerret asked him. "Well I not members much, but I members visitin wiff my familee back on earff. I bees dere wiff dem and at night I sweep wiff my mom on her pill-ow. I misted bein dere for weal but it bees fun to be dere for a while. Den I hears Nanna, you, MustyPete, SawaFewet, Miz SunnyFewet, and wots of odder fewets talkin to me and dey all say for me to pwease comes back sooes I did" Muldoone explained to ScoudderFerret. Going over to his friend once more, ScoudderFerret threw his arms around Muldoone hugging him close, "Mully I bees gwad you back." ~~Muldoone~~ Caring for your ferrets at the Rainbow Bridge. http://mrmuldoone.bravehost.com/index.html [Posted in FML issue 5341]
