I meant to respond to the clucking/chuckling question yesterday but then.... well, it just didn't happen. Anyway, Gracie clucks. Cutest sound ever. It's like a "chook, chook, chook" very fast. (I think the dook is a *more* excited sound accompanied with leaping about). FLO Mystery (?): I saved all of our plastic Easter Eggs and put them in a paper bag. One day, I saw the bagful of eggs scooting haltingly across the floor, seemingly of it own accord but I was satisfied believing that Gracie was pulling the bag backwards. The bag disappeared around the corner... and has not been seen since!! Neither has the contents of the bag (although the ferret IS accounted for). I have looked everywhere and there is *no bag* and *no eggs*! I've checked all the hidey holes, the closets, under the beds,... Apparently, Gracie has intimate knowlege of that void in space to which sock-mates go and I truly believe that the eggs are now in company of the "Lost Socks". Hey! As a matter of fact, wouldn't that explain why some pantyhose come in eggs?!.... it's all a Ferret Conspiracy. FLO? And, if there was an award for Grand Champion Shoe Thief, Gracie would surely be deserving of it. Every morning, she steals all the kids shoes and stuffs them into her hidey hole. We've been late on more than one occasion as The Great Shoe Hunt commenced on very short notice. Never a dull moment! Renee [Posted in FML issue 2657]
