Here is a formula I have derived, after having added a new fuzzy to the two we already had: (2 people + 2 half-crazed ferrets + 1 small apartment) + (1 nine month old, clumsy but extemely lovable, male ferret who does not have a clue what a litter box is) = Complete and utter chaos Also, just before we took in the new guy, we inadvertantly blew our girls minds. We discovered that at least one, and probably both of the girls had found (created?) a hole underneath the couch, and were taking to crawling around in there and doing god knows what. We were very worried about squishing them, and only a little worried about the couch (it comes with the place), so we tried to think of a way to keep them out. The quickest effective solution I could come up with was to take the legs off, and as they unscrewed quite easily, that's what we did. When the girls got up from their naps and came into the living room, I honestly thought their little heads were going to explode. They spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out what the hell had happened, running in furious circles around the couch, looking for a way in, and scrathing like loonies. It was pretty comic, but I kind of felt bad for them. They have since given up trying to move the couch, but I sense that they are still not pleased.

Ask a Muppet fan.) and Lenny, as in "Roo will get me a mouse, so I can hug him and squueze him and name him George." [Posted in FML issue 0786]
