Thanks to the many people who have sent me supportive mail regarding Simmie and her bald face. And to the many posts and private notes suggesting a solid bottom for the castle-cage...we're trying linolium first, to see if it works. And to the many who have sent virtual support as I face criticism from some anonymous poster. Anyway, thanks, all. This morning, as I contemplated Simmie's little race through the house, I was also listening to a song called Humpty Dance. I'm sure not everyone on FML is familiar with the song, but it's a rap/dance song with a chorus of "Come on, and do the humpty-hump." Well, to watch Simmie, I could only use the term "Simmie's humpty-hump run" to describe the racing around to my SO. Coco "lopes" (in a very Quarter Horse like manner), and so far, Jaq has only dooked all over himself, but Simmie definately has the "humpty-hump" down. Anyone else have a special code-name for the crazy antics of ferrets? Laurel _________________________________________________________ ** "You don't like those ideas?
