Dear Ferret Folks-- It's a scorcher in New England today. It's 85 and muggy. We don't usually get this kind of heat right away, we're not accustomed to it. Two weeks ago we had nights in the 40's! Needless to say, it's tough to be a ferret here today. I have the boy's cage blackout curtain pulled aside, they get a nice cross-breeze. I have also placed two frozen chicken necks in there. It keeps them cool, and gives them something to take their mind off of the heat. As I type Caff-Pow and Todd are both licking the frozen necks as if they were soft-serve and the boys were little kids who had managed to catch the ice-cream truck. (Remember running for the ice-cream truck? It was good to be young and spry.) This evening when things cool down (hopefully) I will extract the no longer frozen necks and dispose of them. I always keep a few in my freezer for days like this! Alexandra in MA [Posted in FML 7080]
