Hi there all... I just wanted to update everyone about Fuzzit. She is double the size she was when I attained her, she's precious and she is quite content (still) to be into everything!! (As I speak she has just dragged yet another object into her secret under-the-bed den!) I heard so many of you talking (awhile ago) about ferrets loving to dig. Well, I was pondering about it yesterday, Fuzzit is still too small to safely get into a harness, so - how could I go take her to have this experience? Where could I go? I live in a apartment community where we are only allowed to have small CAGED animals (ha, ha - yeah right!). To get to the point, I went out to Walmart and got a 20 gallon Roughneck container (my apartment is only so big!) made by Rubbermaid and got (2) 40 pound bags of sandbox sand. SHE LOVES IT!!!!!! And boy, oh boy does it tucker her out!! I thought it would be wise to share this in case anyone is in the same predicament I am. And as far as Ed goes...people, I know listening to him probably gets exasperating (this is actually why I have almost un-subcribed from this list) but what I have come to realize is that he is entitled to his beliefs (however untrue or offensive they maybe), so we need to except that and agree to disagree with him! It's ridiculous how much space on this mailing list is devoted to poor Ed (I say poor b/c I believe him to be in the dark about certain important things in life and it's rather unfortunate, really). Just let him be! Aside from that, what do you all really think flaming him for 180 lines per addition of FML is going to accomplish? He probably likes all the attention and probably gloats in the fact that he is receiving so much fuss - SO - to change certain unwanted behaviors do NOT provide reinforcement/attention (positive or negative - regardless)!! It's basic Skinnerian thinking peple! Let's all focus on why we are on this list!! It's much more important than flaming and bickering!!! It's about our precious ferrets!!! Elisa signing out - and to all a peaceful day! [Posted in FML issue 2743]
