Hi All - Since we are on the subject of ferret related cow killings....... Kevin and I bought a huge barrel of animal crackers at Sam's (3 pound, farm-animal theme). We are doing our darndest to eat all the crackers before they go stale, and I think we can just about manage, thanks to Alky. She showed an unusual interest in the barrel when we brought it home, and I thought she just wanted to play in the barrel, a la Pam's pretzel container. But, in fact, she wants the cows!! If given her choice of several farm-related shapes (e.g. horses, sheep, pigs,....) she goes for the neck of the cow every time. Teehee. Good thing we don't live in dairy country, where she might take on a life-size cow! Take care, Liesl and Alky [Posted in FML issue 1412]
