I just thought I ought to share this one with you. My older baby, Freckles, loves my best friend. He often will wrap his short little ferret legs around her ankles and let her drag him around the apt. We didn't know at first that this was a sign of affection and meant that he wanted her to pick him up. So one day, my best friend as well as another friend, were over. I decided to go take a shower, and left the little bad boy running around while Denise played solitaire on the floor and Melanie read up on the futon. I exited the shower to screams and the sounds of people running. Freckles must've felt neglected, because he ran at Denise screaming, and jumped on her back spread eagle like a wombat, stuck on and started shaking his head making the little exasperated noises he is famous for. Melanie had to knock him off Denise's back while she screamed. Needless to say, Denise is growing a liking to these mystical creatures that prior to my ownership, she would have never given a second thought to. [Posted in FML issue 1750]
