Howdy everybody, my name is Tinker. Daddy's away from the puter for a little while, sos I thought I would sneak in and write you guys a little story. I gots to hurry so I don't no how much I can get done. Well anyways I was bornded about 6 months ago I think, I was alful little then. I'm what them hoomans calls a MF ferret, whatever dat is, I'll have to chek dat out. When I gots old enuf I was sent to a pet store somewhere in norden Ohio. One day dhere was this lady come in to look around, I tink she was just checkin out our livin conditions, which were not very good at all. Dhey had me in a akurim wif wood shavins and dirty water and yuk, I don't like to fink about it. Dhis lady tolds them about my living conditions and dhey didn't like it, so she tooks me home wif her. Dhis lady's name is Laurie she runs a shelter for us guys. She was alful good to me. Dhen one day to or free monts ago dhey had this party for dhat Cleveland fert and dhere was a hole bunch of hoomans dhere. Dhats where I met my mommy and daddy, boy was I really showin off for dhem. Mommy fell in love wif me right off dhe bat. She wanted to bring me home wif her but daddy wasn't to sure. Dhey just kept argueing back and forph and back an forph. Boy was I gettin tired of listen to dhem, so just befor dhey left to go home, dhey was tellin all us guys by, so when daddy piks me up to say by, I started nibblin on dhe hairs on dady's face, I tink its called a beard or sompen like dhat. Boy dhats all it took, he was ready to bring me home. Sos dhey put me in a nice little cage and we headed souph, it was abou a five hour ride but I didn't mind cause I swepted all dhe way home. So dhats how I came to be part of the Pietinkiville Gang. You'll have to ask mommy about dhe name, she say we ack like abunch of circus acrobats. It sure is nice here. I've got lots of otter guys to pway wif and lots and lots of neat toys and two swiding boards, and a snorkle box filled wif little pwastic balls and even a swimmins pool. Mommy and daddy sure do takes good care of us guys. Ahoh here comes daddy, I gots to get off here befor he sees me, he might spank my little butt (just kiddin).
