Hey All, Well, I only have one more day of classes, two papers to write, and a final before I am done. Yes! I went to school hacking, and sneezing. I got a birthday present from one of my profs. Ain't that sweet? Now, if I could only talk the cleaning fairies into stopping by, I would be a content woman. Well, almost. Sampson has made me a proud mom. He is my fart with only 3 feet. He was also a bad biter. He pierced my lips on several occasions. The other day my former niece (in-law) and her husband stopped by on their way from KC to St. Louis. They have 2 ferrets and love my gang. Jessica asked me which one it is that bites faces and I look up to see Sampson giving her kisses!! I told her the one she is holding and she said no way, he has been kissing me for a long time. He has also decided that Mom is good for a game of chase. He has just started that, and I have had him for a year now. He also does the cutest happy dance, kinda lists to one side but sooo cute. And I saw him stashing a hacky sack for the first time this morning. It is just so wonderful to see him turning into a normal ferret. A question for discussion--Sampson's remaining 3 feet are huge. Way oversized for him and they are quite spread out. Lots of space between the pads. Is this a skeletal change due to the redistribution of weight? What do all you boneheads think?
