Well I am trying to catch up on the 2 1/2 weeks of FML that I missed while on vacation. I also decided that I need a ferret sitter next time we go on vacation if at all possible. We left Meep and Daisy at home with someone to come in and out twice a day to check on them. Both of them apparently got very lonely which was quite evident when the rushed up and greeted us with many ferret kisses when we got home, not to mention following us around for the last couple of days. They also must have been quite put out with us because they decided litter boxes were optional while we were gone (found lots of "presents" on our return). As soon as we came home they went back to their fairly dependable use of the litter boxes again. Sounds like "attitude" to me!! At any rate I would really like to leave them with a ferret lover when we next go on vacation and I would be willing to pay "board" or swap sitting time with someone. We live on the New York-Vermont border, an hour south of Burlington, VT and an hour north of Glens Falls, NY. Anyone within an hour or two would work out great! Karla [Posted in FML issue 2370]
