howdy all, first, let me apologize for the lack of capital letters. my shift key is now defunct. i believe it is from past spillings of mountain dew by certain fuzzy little critters. i'm writing because i found the perfect way to create a color coordinated cage furnishings. first, buy a rug to fit the bottom of the cage. be sure to pick a color the matches the room, the brighter the color the better. when laundry time comes around, gather up all the washable ferret acouterments. throw them all in the washer, set it on the hotttest setting available, add a little bleach, and oila, when they're all dry you have matching furnishings for the ferret cage. believe it or not, i made this amazing discovery completely by accident. let's hear it for bachelor laundry techniques! i also found out that if you are not careful, you will have personal clothing that also matches the cage furnishings. oops. thank you and good day, limejello & the weezils of doom "ignore the media, think for youself" [Posted in FML issue 2175]
