Greetings, This is my first attempt to post up on the FML so if I have done this incorrectly, someone just shoot me and then let my wife know how to do this properly! The insurance money from my execution would do nicely, but the fuzzies need my wife around to properly administer the fund! <G> I'm Kevin (SOUP) and my wife is Donna, we've 4 fuzzies, FRITO (sable mitt), BANDIT (chocolate), CHIPPER (Black Sable), and HUMPHREY (Silver Mitt). That is in addition to 5 dogs, 2 cats, and a cockatiel! (oops two kids also!) Located in Hope Mills, NC. Enough of the introduction! Wanted to comment on the toys issue. We use plastic dryer vent hose attached to plastic elbows/t-fittings/y-fittings that are designed for drain pipe. All of this can be purchased at a HECHINGERS or HOMEQUARTERS etc. Look for the drain pipe fittings opposed to the PVC pipe fittings used for internal sewerage. The drain fittings are easily half the cost of the PVC and are the exact same design, just a different type of plastic. Cut the vent hose to desired length, design your own course using the fittings, use 100 mph tape (duct tape) to attach, and to cover the little wire piece that is present at the end! The whole kaboodle easily collapses and can be shoved under a bed to be out of the way during nap times, and dragged out when it is play time! Our Fuzzies love it! Regards, SOUP and Donna in NC [Posted in FML issue 0726]
