Hi all-- Both of my guys love shoes-- it's party time when they get into the vestibule (or as we call it around here, the ferret airlock). Amelia once dragged a men's size ten rollerblade from one end of the apartment to the other. It must have been at least five times her weight! Shoes are kept off limits though because they'll eat insoles, or if they don't eat them they'll shred them, and that is not good for happy roommate relations ;) As I write this Cully's in his cage behind me having a blanket fight-- I love the way he burbles at them. Them ferrets are just too cute... Everyone taking finals, getting stressed by deadlines and shopping and those relatives you'd really rather not see, etc, take Modern Ferret's advice and stop and smell the ferrets! BTW, I _loved_ the Ralphspotting cards, there's one up on my fridge now. Dooks to all, and my sympathy to all those having hard times, Regina Amelia (*choose me, I do all those things Raplh does*) and Cully (burble burble burble) ********************************************* Regina Harrison PhD Student, Anthropology Joint Co-ordinator, AGSEM-- McGill's TA union McGill University Montreal, Quebec "If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing" --Peggie Lee [Posted in FML issue 1782]
