Rascal here........ There was a question on the FML yesterday that I can answer.....YEA! To: David Poffinbarger <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Ferret Treats We all love raw potatoes (my bestest one), raw any veggie (May-wee's bestest one is lettuce), Artichokes (only cooked ones either plain or with that white creamy stuff but no butter!), raw fruit of any kind. Mashed bananas mixed with peanut butter, no salt crackers, cheese, cottege cheese, Apples (Brandy's favorite), Yogurt (any flavor except plain), bread (uncooked or toasted - no stuff on it), melons of any kind with Watermelon as the first choice, Apple Cinnamon Cherrios (without the milk), dried cranberries, raisins and Ferretone! Old fat Pogo loves it all. Mama should have called him Mikey cause he'll eat anything! We come running every time our mama either opens any cupboard in the kitchen area or the cold box that's tall. That one has the bestest stuff for sure. I try to get to it myself so I can choose our treats but it's too high up. Darn! And the other complaint I have is.....we only get small bites of this stuff and not all the time and that pushy brudder of mine...Pogo, thinks he's supposed to eat it all! That's probably why he's so fat! He just lays on his back and begs. Does he tink we might get a shuvel and pour this stuff in his mouth or what? The only shuvel mama said we can use is Lobo's pooper scooper ting cause the others are too heavy. Now there's a thought...feed Pogo with that one for extra flavor! hee hee Then maybe he won't eat all of it and there will be some left for us, although I better give mama extra kisses to make sure she doesn't put our part on that shuvel too. Whew! She has no faith at all cause we are SUPERFERTS for sure! We can move anything! We try to stay close to mama (she natually can never get away from us) cause she's always munching on sompin. Oh (before I forget) we like vegetable chip dip too made with sour cream or cream cheese. We won't touch anything that has any meat juices, flavoring or chunks. And last but not least....PEPSI!, Although Crystal light is pretty good too. As long as it's in a glass full of ice, then it's posta be ours, right? Then why does she always say.....NONOBAD FERRET! We don't know that one. Do you? She said sompin about getting glasses that don't fall...haha....silly lady. They don't make it that way! We have only Mazuri Complete ferret Chow and water the rest of the time (which is most of the time). mama trained us to come to one of Lobo's squeek toys but now we come even faster when we hear that big cold box open! And before we get any of those fire things that go in the air and out of the pooter........we know we aren't supposed to be eating things like that but as long as we are careful and only get a little bit, it's been fine. Nobody has ever gotten sick, stopped up or nutin. And mama said it's better than rubber stuff or pieces of paper anyway. To: "JEFF JOHNSTON, EPIDEMIOLOGY" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Cedar oil in shampoo Are you saying that this new found shampoo with Citronella, Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Myrrh and Marigold is bad and shouldn't be used afterall? We don't get a bath very often. And there isn't anything else in our whole place that has cedar. Goodness! Was that our favorite Fang Lady talking yesterday? We sure have missed her. May-wee got in trouble this morning. Poor baby. I jump to mama's hands from Dad's bed upstairs. That's great fun, but then mama turned around to see sompin on the moving box thing that makes loud noises and May-wee jumped. Landed on her head and then fell to mama's bed. Goodness! It got really noisy for a few minutes cause poor mama screamed! Said sompin about scaring the begezers or sompin outa her. Well, that's good anyway cause she's had bad back problems and we don't want anything else going bad cause we need her too much. May-wee was just keeping that bad stuff outa mama so she won't get sick again. What a smart baby she is, right? And besides mama's more fun to play with then crabby old dad. Did I tell you a couple days ago that Lobo was hunting and caught 2 little mice...or is that meeces. What do you call more than one anyways? He gave them to mama too. He loves her so much. He put one on the big table outside and one on the long tiltee ramp thig that mama walks up and down on. Mama was so happy. She said....What a great hunter you are. He got extra kisses and hugs too. He was so excited! Then she picked them up with Lobo's pooper shuvel ting and tossed them out on the street. Our favorite black bird (CROW) came flying down and got them. No he's not a super fert like us...he had to do it 2 times! Oh well. We was watching him outa the screen door and Lobo was crying. That big old bird sat in the tree above Lobo's head and ate them! Mama said that's ok cause even those birdie tings need food. To my other cousins out there....our Dad found us a giant rubber dish thing (frisbee) in his stuff in that big room outside. It's even big enough for Pogo. Brandy won't stay on it, but the rest of us will. She tosses us across the living room. Don't worry our living room is only about as long as our Daddy is tall. Pogo even brings it back to her. He's such a good boy! Brandy stole it yesterday and took it up to our favorite hidey hole under the back corner of that big sleep place. Poor mama can't get upstairs yet. And Daddy is working too many hours cause we hardly ever see him anymore. We are usually ready for sleep when he gets home. So he hasn't had a chance to get it for us. Oh no! It was such a great toy too. May-wee got in trouble this morning. Poor baby. I jump to mama's hands from Dad's bed upstairs. That's great fun, but then mama turned around to see sompin on the moving box thing and may-wee jumped. Landed on her head and then fell to mama's bed. Goodness! It got really noisy for a few minets cause poor mama screamed! Said sompin about scaring the begezers or sompin outa her. Well, that's good anyway cause she's had bad back problems and we don't want anything else going bad cause we need her too much. May-wee was just keeping that bad stuff outa mama so she won't get sick again. What a smart baby she is, right? And besides mama's more fun to play with then crabby old dad. Gotta go now....mama just put a box of something on her bed. We have to go make sure it won't go boom or sompin....oop's too late! That big old Pogo just pushed it on the floor! On no...Brandy came tumbling out! hee hee Love, dooks, chuckles and a howl from the crew..... Rascal (that's me) - and still in charge Brandy - is the room moving or was that a shaky thing...how come I landed on the floor? May-wee - time out guys! Mama's in the kitchen! Pogo - That was my superfert act. Good, huh? hee hee Lobo - be quiet I'm hunting sompin and their mama too! [Posted in FML issue 1693]
