Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Hope you all had good Holidays, Chaunaka, Christmas or Kwaanza, or whatever other you may celebrate. In the Duck Household, thank God, the flu seems to have left the fur covered ones. Molly let us know she was feeling much better by squeezing herself through a smaller hole than ever before, and escaping from my office (otherwise known as "jail"). I guess she wanted to know what the fuss was in the living room- we were putting gifts under the tree, because all of a sudden she was there. We couldn't figure out how she had gotten out, and put her back in. We started doing something in that room, and I looked over at the gate, just to see Molly squeezing through. She wasn't happy when I picked her up and put her back on the jail side of the gate. She went back through about 6 times before we locked them up so Mr. Duck could fix the problem. She lost a lot of weight during the flu (she was always tiny to begin with) and managed to get through a hole between the baby gate and the wall. Mr. Duck fixed that really quickly. It is now about 1/2" x 1/2 ", so I don't think she'll be able to sqeeze through. Of course the female human (ME) is still sick with the flu- it's been an on again off again thing for over a month- I suppose I should go to the doctor :-). Another good thing is that all of a sudden, many of the ferrets who always turned their noses up at TF and Innova are munching it down. Yeah!! They were going into Gabriels cage and stealing it, so I gave them a bowl of their own- when I looked the next morning, it was gone. I looked throughout the cage to make sure Roxanne hadn't hidden it all somewhere, and realized it had been eaten. -Mrs. DUck [Posted in FML issue 1796]
