You house sounds like my house - when you find a way to get the ferrets to sleep until six, let me know. No one here has converted to Eastern Standard Time. Everyones tummy and bladder are still on Daylight Savings Time. SOOOOOOO every morning at 3:59 A.M. I am standing in the kitchen, opening the door for the dogs. Then, the ferrets get up, and it is time for soup, then the two birds get up, the rooster in the barn is already yelling, Kitty wants his now, so I put the coffee on. Forward your solution. I'm waiting. Marilyn [Posted in FML 5437]
