I laughed my butt off about the sweater from fur thing. I had seen something on TV once about a woman that turns the fur from her Newfies into sweaters. Those would be big sweaters! Anyway, it reminded me that whenever our ferrets are being *bad* (is there ever a time when they're not?!), my fiance tells them: "If you don't behave I'm gonna turn you into SLIPPERS!" They would make perfect slippers too, just the right length and width. :-) Just kidding. Aileen & the SLIPPERy herd === "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
