First, let me start off by saying that I think "dook dook goose" has to be the most amusing game, more so than any other b-day party game. Second, in the tail of my princess ferret who hates to be dirty: Last night Baby was sleeping in her ferret bed. She was on her stomach with her back paws hanging over the side of the bed and her front paws were stretched out in front of her(parallel to her head). Bell, being the clean ferret that she is, decided that Baby needed a bath(even though its been less than 1 wk. since their last bath). First, she started licking Baby's ears, normal ferret doings, I thought. Then, she (sorry-I can't think of a politer way to say this) mounted Baby's back. Mind you, Baby is still sleeping. Bell started licking Baby's neck and forehead, then she grabbed the sides of Baby's face with her paws, and proceeded to lick clean her nose and mouth. Then, she did something that I've never see her do before. She picked Baby's face up with her paws and turned her over so that she was now neck up. Then Bell cleaned Baby's bib, chin and anything else that was down there. Then she got off and started the whole routine again, beginning with the ears. This went on for almost 20 minutes. After she did this the first time, I was laughing so hard I decided to call my mom and tell her- that was a mistake-I was crying by now and my mom thought that something bad had happened-it took me 10 minutes to convince her that everyone was ok. I decided to share this with the FML because I think its the FUNNIEST thing I've seen my ferrets do since I've had them. Lisa [Posted in FML issue 1172]
