well i usually sleep in until noon or so, but today i was awakened in a most alarming manner! i was in the middle of a wonderful ferret dream... does anyone have those? i was dreaming i had many many ferrets and was writing ads, like personal ads in the paper for them (for selling them).. ie.. "Cookie-Bear enjoys hiding socks, count chocula cereal and not using her litter box". *anyway* i woke up to periscope under the covers biting my toes! hard! it seems she and cookie escaped from their cage and were wreaking havoc all over the house. they have never done this before but hobbes has escaped once from his cage. since sadly i will be graduating and forced to flee back into my parents house in the fall, i have to make sure that they can't escape and end up biting my *mothers* toes in the middle of the night. *bouncebounce*. their cage is the sort with a plastic bottom and white wire top, that opens on the ceiling, and has two latches on the side. anyone else had the monsters escape from such a cage? o.. and i know the count chocula cereal is a most naughty treat but its the only one they will "come" and "sit up" for, so i occaisonally give cookie and periscope bits of it and sometimes sneak it to hobbes when gary's not looking! :) Marianne [Posted in FML issue 1273]
