Hi All: Spring has sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the ferrets is? Or should I say, I wonder where the ferrets ain't? "GET OFF THAT REFRIGERATOR!!!" (boing, boing, THUMP, CRASH), "NOOOO!!!" Can we say HYPERKINETIC??? Ferrets bouncing off walls, "wrasslin'" (anything), climbing counters, bookshelves, cabinets & other places that were too much effort a month ago. Ferrets everywhere, boxing cats, digging up plants, hiding shoes, socks & wallets. Gurgey's slimmed down & become a "lean mean racin' machine" who has discovered he can leap 4 feet from the chair to the bed in a single bound ("snore. . .thunk. . .EEEK!") My girls are sticking together (oh boy, three times the fun!!!) 'Mantha, Puka & Ginger are into everything (WHO STOLE MY GLASSES???). They've taken up residence in my closet & are holding the lines against the evil Gurginator. . ."yeah, Boy - come get us - JUST try it - we'll kick your fuzzy little butt!!!" Even Lazy Lao the Linoleum Lizard is getting into the act - though he's a little more subtle, doing his evil deeds then immediately assuming the speed bump position (like HE doesn't have ANY idea how that dog food bag got emptied all over the floor. . .) Ginger has decided she doesn't want us to pay taxes this year - I think she must be part of an anti-government conspiracy. She has spread our tax records file all over the floor on at least 3 occasions. And no matter where we put them - in the drawer, in the file cabinet, on the counter, etc. she finds them! ARRRGGGHH! Ahhhh yes, ferrets in spring! Karen & The Monster Squad [Posted in FML issue 1514]
