Wow! 8-lb ferrets! We are all, of course, aware that the laws of physics and measurement standards warp indescribably when one enters a pet store, such that your darling, svelte weasel tips the scales impressively. Potpie personally doesnt like this idea - she prefers the "waif" look. Friday smugly notes that nobody would notice, as her coat is so wonderfully fine and fluffy as to mask any apparent weight gain. Noodle would rool the earth! Shelves and displays would quake and tremble at his approach! Stomp! Stomp! Cool! Marcy's ferrets: > ;a;a tttt zn"ueeeq /// ////////qooooooooofq;LKKKKKK I just like saying, "qooofq! qooofq!" Lastly, there was an article in the local Observer (don't have it with me, sorry) which was more of a blurb under a picture of two adorable ferrets: "If you're prone to spending on impulse, under no circumstances should you go see the ferrets at Pet Supplies Plus, because you WILL buy one!" Teehee. To the person who criticized Modern Ferret so stridently: While the FML is often a forum for stating opinions, I feel that sort of criticism is harmless and needlessly inflammatory - and I doubt you'll start the sort of bandwidth-wasting flamewar here that that message seems to encourage. We exchange information, stories, constructive help and constructive criticism here. Please respect that. Also, we like our moderator here. :) Go go gadget BIG! Melissa, still trying to convince her mother the ferrets NEED christmas gifts from their gramma, heehee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Melissa Litwicki [log in to unmask] Radio Controlled Operation In Vivid Six Ways Of Movement With Reality!
