Well, here I am about ready to go under the knife, and I couldn't resist one last peek at the FML. Thanks to all the nice e-mails wishing me well. Just wanted to share a good "emergency" treat (or protein/fat supplement) I discovered when I ran out of raisins. (Boy was I in trouble; I was about to pick them out of raisin-oatmeal cookies...) Its peanut-butter, and boy do the fuzzies love it. My group loves it as much as nutrical or ferretone, which is saying alot. Sometimes I chop up a few raisins and add it to the PB. I make a game by spreading a thin coat of peanut butter on the inside of a (cleaned) film canister, then rolling it on the floor. Each beastie has their own way of licking up the stuff. Tori noses in and plows the canister across the floor. Bear rolls on his back and holds the canister like some giant glass. Moose carts his off, and I've never seen how he gets the PB out. Daye pins hers down, and licks away. Stella carries hers to a corner, then uses a modified plowing tactic. She is the only one who will carry the canister back for more. I have to admit, the sight of a fuzzpole with a film can on their nose is slightly entertaining. See you soon Bob Moose, Stella, Daye, Tori, and Bear Stella says, with big dark wet eyes, "Please Bob, can I have more?" [Posted in FML issue 1375]
