First I'd like to thank everyone for their warm thoughts and condolences on Vixens death and to share with you how those at home helped to console me. Saturday morning after about 2 hours of restless sleep I awoke to Zipper gently kissing my tear streaked face (at least till she knew I was awake and then her tongue quickly turned to sandpaper!). She continued to kiss and cuddle for quite some time and her and Dusty followed me around the house (no matter what I was doing) for several days. After I had placed Vixen in her little bed for all to see she had gone and till I could bury her in the morning, Dusty softly dooked and aacked around my feet until I relented and played with him for about an hour at which time I was totally exhausted and had to lay down. This is unusual behavior for both of these little ones (although Zipper will gladly give many kisses but not usually on her own incentive and Dusty will play but not at 2:30 a.m.). It is amazing how in a home of 40 (yes you read that right - but only 17 are mine) those 2 were so in tune with my emotions that they chose to comfort me in the only way they knew how. Stamps - How about if we all request a domestic ferret stamp series and/or black-footed ferret stamp (because their endangered)? Here's what to do: write to the following address and request them. Including a picture may help sway their decision but be sure it is a duplicate or color copy as it will most likely end up in the trash. Mine has 7 ferrets and myself showing how much we love each other. Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee, Stamp Management, US Postal Service, 475 L'Emfant Plaza SW, Washington D.C. 20260-2420. I understand their decision is based on # of requests and pertinent info (i.e. domestic animal or endangered species). Snoring - Last night while sweeping I heard a very soft noise. I immediately turned everything noisy (tv) off to locate the sound worried that one of the ferrets was in trouble. Well.... under the blanket Molly or Axle (look-a-likes) was sleeping very deeply and snoring! This was so cute and so funny. I quietly tiptoed away to the kitchen so I could laugh out loud without disturbing her. Hugs to all! tle [Posted in FML issue 1087]
