I look forward to the FML every day, and every now and then I read something that reminds me why I enjoy this list and everyone's ferrets so much. The "I trip the light fantastic" story was one of those. So was the school report on ferret shelters. Please everyone, keep sharing those heartwarming stories with us; we don't get nearly enough of them. If only we could cry with happiness as often as we cry with sorrow on this list... Fellow FMLer's, I have discovered a fool proof way of keeping the ferrets from poopie-ing in the corners (shh, don't tell the FLO): cacti in the corners. Yes, go to your local garden center and buy some cacti, one for each corner your fuzzies prefer. No, stop looking at me like I'm crazy, I mean it. Imagine the looks on their faces when they back into their favorite corner and it bites their butt. That is the ultimate revenge for any ferret owned person who has ever cleaned up a corner poopie (and if anyone on this list says they don't fall in that category, I'll call you a liar). :) OK, so I'm not serious, but it was a thought that amused me.
