Hi all dis be SaraFerret. Wowsie, it sure has been busy at de bridge. Constant traffic. So here I am wit dis kit, Calvin, firmly attached to me (he has his arms wraps around my neck) and his hind paws arounds my back). Calvin insists I am is Mommy. I must really be checking around for his real true Mommy. Also why is he not in kit school. He must've slipped out when de teacher ferrets werent watching. Dey must kit-proofed dat place better. But wait! De courier just dropped at note. Smoochie is getting ready to cross de bridge. Okay, on de loudspeaker, Popcorn, Nipper, Buddy, Weasel, dose of you dat belonged to Papa Gerald's business--report to de bwidge. Guess my voice can cawwy wit de help of dat speaker ting. Okay dey all gots here licketty-split. Nothing like flying ferrets for quick action! Suddenly dere was dis handsome big sable boy marching across de bridge. Wowsie, he just marches rights up to me and introduces himself and says Hi I am Smoochie. Well, I says, I is SaraFerret, de Bridge Greeter. I would like to welcome you to your new forever home. Well, Smoochie kinda sighed and says, well Daddy told me dat dis would be my new home and dat I would be met by a bridge greeter and perhaps some of my old friends. And all of a sudden his friends popped out of hiding and yelled out to him, Hiya Smoochie, welcome to de bridge. Well Smoochie was so surprised to see all of dem so soon. He really tought he would have to look dem up. But dey had a short chat about Papa Gerald and all dat stuff. But den I had to take care of de bridge business. Uh Smoochie, I says, we have to get you fitted for wings and halo. Smoochie looked at me strangely and said, Wings? Whatever for? Well, Smoochie, I says, you are an angel now and angels need wings to fly here unless you plan to walk everywhere which is rather difficult. Smoochie looked at his friends and saw dat dey had wings and wowsie, he felt rather dumb and says oh, wowsie, did i says someting silly. I tells him, No way did you say someting silly, Smoochie, it was just de shock from crossing de bridge, we all get some type of brain freeze. Now just come wit me to Kit and Kaboodle. And Calvin, its time you learned to walk. (firmly detaching one kit'x paws from my body). When we arrive, Auntie Mary Ferret is dere to meet us. First ting she does is take one truant Calvin back to kit school (dey found out where he had escape from and have since secured the hole). Den she comes back and goes behind de counter and places a long box on de counter and its label Smoochie. I takes Smoochie over to de counter and he opens de box and he opens it. Inside are beautiful azure wings shot wit black stripes. Some of his business offer to help him wit de tryon telling him dat dey can be tricky de first few times. Den on wit de halo. Afterwards, Smoochie trots over to de mirror and looks at his reflection and turns and then gets a kinda lopsided grin. VANITY--THY NAME NAME IS FERRET! (It really is amazing how ferrets react when dey get dere wings-dey just preen and dook like dey have a new set of clothes which of course dey do--and of course it is de first day of a new place for de rest of dere lives). Well all of his friends ooh and ahh over his wings. And of course Smoochie will stay wit dem as dey have a new azure hammock wit black stripes for Smoochie. Dey are going to give Smoochie dey tour tomorrow as dey know he is sorta worn out from all dat has happened today. And of course dere is de Welcome to de Bridge Party tonie for Smoochie with de usual treats dat Smoochie so loves--I an invited, but unfortunately cant go as I am on duty tonite. But I wish dem lots of fun and joy and I will be seeing dem lots. And so back to de bridge entrance I trot, hoping Calvin (dis is de kit of Mommy Donna) will stay in kit school till I gets off duty. Loveys and hugs SaraFerret [Posted in FML 5586]
