Howdy, I just wanted to wish my oldest weezil a happy birthday. Mr. Lugnut Chains is now 13 years old! I don't know his exact birthday or age, but I know he's at least 13 and I figured the beginning of the year was a good place for a birthday. He was my first ferret and he's owned me for about 5 years. He's not as active as he used to be and he's definitely showing his age, but he still one of the bestest ferrets I've ever known. In honor of his birthday, I wanted to relate an amusing story of a peculiar habit he used to have. When I first got him, he would bite women's butts once. He never bit men and he would only do once to every new woman he met. If a new woman was in my house he would take the first chance he could and bite her butt, hard enough to draw blood. And then he never bothered her again. My SO at the time got her butt bit, and eventually so did all our female friends. But he would only do it once per female. And he never bit in any other situation. Except for women's butts, he was one of the sweetest ferrets you could ever want. Oddest thing I've seen. I don't know if he was giving them his stamp of approval or what. He has since given up this strange habit. Why, I do not know? But who knows what goes through the mind of a weezil. -Limejello & the Weezils of Doom "I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather...Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car" [Posted in FML issue 2180]
