Another one by Chloe: Scratch those houseplants - dig! Stop, loud machine! That's my dirt! ...dances with vacuum. This one's an attempt to do the haunting beauty thing - havent' been able to get that & seasonal & ferrets all into one - keep getting stuck on their goofo nature - Unearthly beauty? But we are sweet clowns, jesters, dancing through your hearts. Other: Chloe the Weasel (her full name) has had a resurgence of energy with the coming of spring (as have I) -bouncing & playing by herself if there's no-one else around ... it's great to see. And I want to brag about Ramon. We've had him a half year now, and it finally *clicked* what this paper-training thing was about, and he is (almost) thoroughly reliable now. And noticeably proud of himself. Only makes mistakes after I clean the room, and lord knows that happens rarely enough... or if I brag about how good he is... (oops, that's what I'm doing! where's the mop?!) And, he has trained himself to ride on my shoulder, which I really like. I've offered myself as a resource to the local animal shelter, which does dogs & cats, but not ferrets - if I get any calls, you'll be hearing from me, because I am still a novice! Hope you are all enjoying spring and dancing with w..easels. --sharin [Posted in FML issue 2638]
