Hi Ferreteers, Tonight I had Bogart and Hugh, the 2 big albino males out for evening run time. As usual, I was sitting quietly -this time for some reason kneeling on my haunches. They were doing their usual sniffing, Is it really Mom, Are we safe routine while I watched and praised them for not biting, being big beautifu boys, etc - all the mushy stuff you can't help saying. Bogart was sniffing along my leg when he suddenly dove under my body! Tail wagging (bet that's the first time for him!), Hugh dove after him. I was laughing so hard I could barely keep from falling on top of them! Bogart ran around me to the front, saw Hugh disappearing under me & dove after him. There I was, kneeling on my floor while these 2 incredible sweeties used me to play roundie-round! I'm glad I was in sweat pants.... I also was able to get some cute photos of them playing with a hard rubber toy mine had gotten bored with & left under the bed. What a nice time we all had. No nipping, just ferret fun. They both dooked tonight - no war dances yet, but it won't be long. On to adopting. Since I can't get the application scanned without much more money than makes sense, I'm requesting snail mail addresses for interested folk. I expect Bogart, Hugh, Boris, and Natasha to be ready in the next two weeks, and the faster the apps go out & get returned the faster you can meet your new babies. I'll send out the apps, I'll take them to committee when they're returned, & we'll have answers pretty fast - these guys need their own homes, and if I keep fostering them, I may be worse than Carin is about her beautiful adoptees. If one of these four don't work, we have others throughout the state & will be able to arrange adoptions this month. Time for Bogart & Hugh to go to bed & for Boris & Natasha to come out & play. Happy ferreting, Paula [Posted in FML issue 2178]
