Lightening strike ferrets reminds me..... This winter I was taking down a christmas wreath. It was very dry and brittle, so I ended up with a table covered with little dry pine needles. I was about to get a vacuum to clean up, when little Merri came running in and hopped onto the table. She ran around a moment, and PRESTO! No more annoying pine needles. Merri didn't seem to mind being a walking fur tree! Then I had to brush Merri which she did not care for (or at least wouldn't sit still for). Now every time I clean, I can't help but think that I should just do all of my dusting with ferrets. They ARE self cleaning after all :-)....But, if I could reverse the charge for a moment while holding them over a garbage can.....hmmmm.....Think of the financial possibilities in marketing the Dust Ferret......They even clean under couches.....And they work for raisins! ..... and ZAAAP! ..... Hey, where'd you guys learn about ....ZAAAP! ..... ouch ..... ZAAAP! ZAAAP! ..... Alright, truce!..... ZAAAP! ..... No, not my ..... ZAAAP! ZAAAP! ZAAAP!!!!! -- ------------------------------------------------------- Bryan P.
