I agree with Troy Lynn wholeheartedly! I get all caught up in trying to clean up all the time with so many ferrets and other animals that I feel I don't spend enough time playing with the little munchkins. I'm sure that between me and Rob they get enough, but not too much! I've been thinking about the same thing and we've been playing with them in-between doing chores every night. I guess that's why it's been taking longer to get things done, duh. They are with us for way too short of a time to waste not playing with and loving on them! Last night while trying to watch TV, I was playing with Harley with one hand and scratching Simon (cat) on the head with my other hand. It's funny how the dog and the cats place themselves strategically throughout the house so that as you walk by you can scratch them on the head. Now the ferrets, they're just always underfoot. Ya gotta love 'em! Life's too short, stop and smell the ferrets, I mean roses! Mary and The 12 Munchkins [Posted in FML issue 2764]
