Hey all, I have a really silly story to tell you. (well it had me in stitches) Last night Hugo was in the kitchen and he smelled something that really bugged him. His tail was as puffy as it could get as was his whole body. Well he was walking very slooowly. This allowed Elbert to catch him. Elbert is not the quickest of ferrets. He is about 3 moves behind all the others, and often has a look of confusion on his face. "where did they all go?" Well with Hugo moving so slow Elbert was able to have at it on Hugos ears and Hugo didn't seem to notice. Well Elbert got a bit braver an took a chomp on Hugos neck. Hugo still did not notice. So Elbert decided it was ok to try to drag Hugo to his hidy hole. Remember they were in the kitchen on Linoleum. Here is Elbert trying to drag Hugo (they are the same size) and his feet kept slipping. It was so funny. Hugo was not doing anything about it. Finally Elbert got Hugo to the carpet and that is when Hugo noticed and put a stop to it. Hugo was still total body fuzzy. I felt so bad for him I picked him up, all the time laughing, to tell him it was really ok to get dragged around by such a weak ferret. Elbert was so proud of himself he went bounding off to see who else he could find to exert his dominance on. Poor Elbert came across Taos first, and had to high tail it out of there lest his feet get chomped on. Elbert is one of the clumsyist ferrets around. He is constantly falling and tripping when he gets excited. Poor guy I tell you Taos is such a brat. She was at the food dish and Elbert came by to dine with her. As soon as he stuck his head in for a bite he got one from Taos. She squeaked and snapped at him. He looked so sad. She is the smallest skinniest ferret around. all she does is run. she burns way more calories than she takes in. Well there you go. The story of Brave and Strong Elbert!
