With the new term starting and the addition of a new ferret, I have discovered that I can no longer do my homework in the ferrets' room while they are out. I have touched a little on Pretzel's problem- he is a thief extraordinaire- anything on the floor MUST be put away. (At least he is neat.) Yesterday, I learned that everything included engineering paper, pencils, eraser, and a very humorous attempt at dragging a text that probably weighs more than he does. After retrieving my papers with the addition of little puncture marks, I could not help but think of the age old excuse for late homework: "The dog ate it."
