Hi all, I'm thinking about starting a confuse-a-ferret service (like the confuse-a-cat service in Monty Python). I played a mean trick on Sweetie this week. She had been after a Woody doll that we had purchased from Burger King for weeks. She was so persistent, that we eventually gave in and let her have it. She loved dragging it along the floor in the recreation room, and stashing it in different places. We kept an eye on her, and after a while we decided that it was safe to let her play with it. She was the only one that wanted it, and there were no bite marks on any of the plastic pieces. We still watch her though, just in case she decides to nibble it. Although she had never seen it, we really had two of these dolls. So, just as a joke, I gave her the second one. She looked really confused. . . . Isn't that my Woody doll? She grabbed it from my hand, and ran across the floor to where she had stashed the first one. Then she saw the old one, still safely stashed away. Massive confusion ensued, with her looking back and forth from one doll to the other, trying to get her mind around the fact that there were in fact two of them. Finally she just kind of shrugged her shoulders, and decided to count her blessings (TWO of them! There are TWO of them!). Then she stashed the second one away with the first one. Of course if the imp of the perverse strikes, I may add a third, or hide one. Melodyt and the four fuzzbutts [Posted in FML issue 1902]
