Hi, all! A little while back, I said I had some pictures of my ferret, Pogo that I would send to people who wanted them. I'd like to apologize to those who replied wanting a picture because I can't seem to uuencode the GIF files so that they'll uudecode. Also, the pictures are *real* dark, and it's hard to see Pogo in them. I could still accommodate anyone who would like a BinHex-ed PICT file, though! Re: Ferrets and toys- Two of my three ferret girls, Bungee and Tinkerbelle, just *love* a little red rubber sqeaky bear I used to let them play with. (It's deteriorating now, so they can't play with it any more, but it's too cute to throw out. :) They would fight over where to put it. Each of them (of course) has a favorite hiding spot, and there were a few nights when 'Belle would take the bear into the open door of the cage and put the bear down. Bungee would follow Belle in, and as soon as Belle put down the bear, Bungee would pick it up and take it under the dresser. Belle followed Bungee, and took the bear back to the cage. This would go on sometimes for half an hour! It was so funny to see them like two people who didn't agree about something, but don't want to start a fight. Bungee gets so distressed whenever her "Baby" isn't in its "home", I think Belle moves it just to see Bungee tweek. Bungee never plays with the bear, she just puts it away. Belle, however, liked to make it squeak. If the bear was in the cage at night, sometimes I'd wake up around 2am to "Squeak. Squeaky. Sqeaky-Squeaky. SQUEAKY- SQUEAKY-SQUEAKY-SQUEAKY-Squeak. Squeaky-Squeak-Squeak." She'd pick up the bear and shake her head quickly just to make the bear squeak. Hmmmm. Maybe that's why Bungee didn't want the bear in the cage. ;) Eric, Pogo, Bungee, Tinkerbelle, and Toodles, too! Me ^----------------Ferrets-------------^ [Posted in FML issue 0601]
