Hi folks, dis is SaraFerret. I was checking thru de Boss's Big Book of Ferrets when out dropped a note requesting a check to see how Phoenix, Eloiner, Grampa Frasier, Deifenbaker, Mongo, Indy, Vic, and Turnbull were doing here. Now I usually doesn't do dis, but oh well. So offs I goes with note in paw. Now where could dey be. I sure hopes dey were in one place, cause I has been busy lately. I went down de garden path to one cottage and knocked on de first address; sorry de fuzzy said, dey had moved to another cottage as dis one was too small and pointed me to another place. (It would be nice if dey posted forwarding addresses in de Big Book). So I wents to dat cottage and on de door was a note: We have gone to de Otters' MudSlide for de day. SIGH! So off I went down de garden path. I could hear de happy dooking and carrying on of otters and fuzzies and skunks and then I spotted a group of fuzzies covered completely with mud. Has anyone see any of Emilie's fuzzies, I asked. The first one spoke up, I am Eloiner. I am one of Emilie's fuzzies. And dis is Grampa Frasier. Well I replied, Your Mommy Emilie wants to know how you are doing. Well all of the group quickly ran off and rinsed themselves off and returned in a flash. Dey intoduced theirselves and sure enough, dey were as Emilie had described dem. Cinnamons, Cinnamon blaze panda mitts, all sorts of colors. They walked with me back to their cottage and we had de usual iced sweet tea and squirt cheese and crackers and dey filled me in on dere lives at de bridge since dey had arrived. It seems that dere old place had just become so crowded dat dey had to move to a much bigger group of cottages. Eloiner showed me how spotless everything was (well it was spotless except when de boys got messy and threw things around). Between mudslides and watersurfing and just fun and games dey kept so busy. And in between times dey just hung around de place and slept or just put on music and wardance like old times. It was so great to be together. Of course dey all missed dere beloved Mommy Emilie. We went down to de misting pond and we swished de water and saw Mommy appear and de whole group waved and threw hugs and kisses and wrapped dem with dere love and laid them on a nearby shooting star and sent it on its way to you with the story of the Rainbow Bridge and the promise of being reunited and running together forever in the future. With another swish the vision was gone. So we trotted back to their cottage and continued our visit. SaraFerret wrote her report once she returned. Yes dese fuzzies are doing great and all is well. It was so noted in de Boss's Big Book of Ferrets. So ended another check-up at de Bridge. SaraFerret, Bridgegreeter [Posted in FML 5742]
