Many of you out there have kids and you give your kids money to shop for gifts for other members of the family. My thoughts this year is to let my ferrets do some shopping. Each one can pick a shelter of their choice, read their wish list, then we can go shopping for that shelter's needs. Maybe it is something we have around the house, old sweats (cut off legs) pillow cases (have tons of those) or pick up some baby blankets at the 2nd hand store. Doesn't cost that much to ship a light package and my little fuzzies can wear their Santa hats and get into the act of giving too. Maybe it will sweeten up that attitude of "mine, mine, and mine" For those who talk about ferret math, it can be a bunch, but it is fun to do and add a little note this is Pandora's choice or Gypsy's choice or Zorro's choice. I'm sure even one package from the whole group would really be appreciated. Really feels good AFTER you return from the post office, that is!!! Millie and her spirited, celebrating, in the season noble cleaning crew Easy Off: the most perfect ferret in the whole wide world Ammonia: Awww, Oscar went visiting for a couple of days, poor Easy Off Cascade: Hey Dizzy, maybe when Easy Off meets Oscar, we can make it a double date. Ajax: Hold on here, Granny, I gotta ferret test this stuff before you ship it outta here Dizzy: No, Ajax, it's sent IN your name, YOU are not allowed to wear it out first. Joy: I suppose I'm the one who has to put my paw on the string for you to tie the package, I do all the hard labor around here. [Posted in FML issue 2506]
