Someone mentioned yesterday that silence in a ferret's room usually equals said ferret finding some trouble to get into. I thought I was the only one who had that theory...when it gets too quiet, I can't fight the urge to start counting ferrets, i.e. "Okay, Marshmallow's there, Saffy's in the cage, Jasper and Maggie are playing, the new ferret (yes, folks I know that's sad...I can't think of a name for her) is biting my toe and Gatsby is dragging my credit card under the....hey you come back here!" My question is: those of you that have 10 or more ferrets, can you acutally count them if you need to make sure they're behaving themselves? It's hard enough to count six perpetually in motion fuzzies...I can't imagine 20 (or more)... Laura [Posted in FML issue 1726]
