Dearest Easy Off, my mother read your Christmas car to me today. How thoughtful of you to think of me, but being the Perfect Ferret that you are, I would not expect anything less. Easy Off, I want you to enjoy your Christmas and don't worry about what size you are, I will love you no matter what. To tell you the truth, I thought we might have a new ferret around the house. Everyone was talking about the fat one. Yesterday we had company, a little girl Kammy told my mother that the fat one was sniffing her toes. IT WAS ME! So, I guess I might have put on a few ounces. ' hope you have the most wonderful Christmas possible. I will be thinking of you while I watch the lights on the Christmas tree twinkle. Tell Ms. Millie we are counting down the days until she gets here! Merry Christmas my dear, Oscar Ferret [Posted in FML issue 2530]
