Merlin's going crazy! He just got a little blue bear rattle for Christmas, and already he has devoured it's whole ear on one side! The edge is torn in ragged shreds like some ravenous beast attacked it! I fed him some Laxatone to flush out any bear ear he might have swallowed. And of course I took the bear away until I can figure out whether to sew up its ear or just toss it out. If that's not enough, yesterday Merlin suddenly decided to bite me on the back of the hand (several times before scruffing and "No" got the point across). The little stinker bit me hard enough to leave red marks and broken skin! (But no blood.) Ouchie! But what can I say? I guess my big boy was just hungry!! Hey, is anyone planning on going to the ferret show in Kissimmee on Feb. 27? I am going and maybe anyone else from the FML that will be there could join up and we could all have lunch/dinner or just swap ferret tails! ;) --Rachelle, McKyle, & Merlin [Posted in FML issue 2555]
