I have seen "clear dryer hoses" for sale in pet stores-maybe 16' for $30.00! What's worse, I think I will buy one!! (When I do, I'll write you again - just call me a penniless fool!) Ferret Freedom Day! And weren't you greeted with a late snowstorm? I saw snow in Georgia on the way home from work. Doug in Athens has my big boy "Bebop" alias "the Bopster"! I hope he likes the big ole fat ferret boy! As for me, I must run outside and rescue my fuzzies, because the temperature has gone from a balmy 75 to 30-with 15 predicted for tomorrow! If any of you were planning to make Macon Ga's Cherry Blossom Festival next Friday---------well, I don't think so!! Karen [Posted in FML issue 1500]
