Hello all- I haven't had time to read the list in about two weeks.... I'm starting to go through withdrawl!! :-) However, I just wanted to post and mention for anyone who has been emailing me to make sure they use "[log in to unmask]" as an address. I recently changed ISP's and the email address with "portal.ca" domain will no longer be valid. Aside from that small administration note, I have to tell you that my ferrets have great coats, round little bellies and that they attacked my Christmas tree when I put it up. It now rests on a coffee table: all 6 feet of it! Although they left it alone the first few days it was up, I caught them undertaking some pretty intense FLO campaigns eventually. Baxter was climbing into the drawers of the entertainment unit from underneath, opening them up and pouncing the elves naively resting on the trees. He then dragged them into the drawer and under the entertainment unit for proper "debriefing". Funny ferrets! No matter what my day has been like at work, they can sure make me smile when I get home. Dooks to all, Ariel ========================================================================== Ferret Proverb: A raisin in the mouth is worth two in the hand... but try to get those too.
