Well, another good one today by Tessa. Somewhere around 4am or so, I thought I heard the sound of a bell ball rolling about upstairs. Jasper had tucked everyone in bed last night before we crashed, so I laid there thinking "Naw". Besides, I was too damned tired to go up and check. The vertical blind in the yellow room has a small chain on it and I thought that maybe that was the noise I heard since that window was open and the blind makes a fair amount of noise when the wind blows in. I also thought I heard a small thump at one point too but it was too close to 6:15am to bother with. Well, guess who greeted me at the gate this morning when I went upstairs to let out the crew. Tessa decided to save me the bother of bending over and unhooking, unlatching her cage. Sigh! Several dooks that probably translated as "Boy, I've been having a blast - where the heck have you been??" and a bunch of smoochies later and I just had to laugh. There was stuff strewn about - but she hit the litterbox/paper so no big deal really! Tessa did manage to pull one of my socks through the gate to play with - I think it's definitely more of a sock versus foot fetish here - but no holes chewed in it. Frodo and Geisha's cage was a bit of a mess - I figure there was some frustration on their part with Tessa climbing the cage and generally (NO FAIR!) being free to cause minor amounts of havoc!! Jasper has been assigned the duty to make the other cage more Tessa-proof! Good luck big guy!!! Take care and hugs to all!! George, Jasper, Frodo the Frustrated (No fair!!! I want out!), Geisha the Gosh-is-This-Kid-a-Pain-Sometimes and Tessa the Terror! ************************************************************************ Georgette Peters Nothing is ferret-proof to a Steacie Science Library sufficiently talented ferret.
