Big ferrets can't jump.. Oliver has a unique style of jumping, Louis has pointed out that he looks like superman, he puts his front paws out and leaps..unfortunately this is where gravity is NOT his friend, un-like my other ferrets..he drops with a resounding THUD. as I type this he has just managed to get my purse unzipped and is trying to pull out my checkbook, a little young to be affiliated with the FLO?! YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A BIG FERRET WHEN Your 1 1/2 lb sprite rides him like a horse When your hammock that usually holds 3 ferrets rest on the cage floor when he is in it. THE cage floor bows where he sits to eat. When he runs down the hall, it sounds like a herd of hippos. When he runs, pictures rattle. He leaves a butt groove on the carpet. When HE drags the bigger in size, not in weight, ferrets around. When I question the lump under my sheets, is it the cat or the ferret?! When he leaves foot prints IN the sidewalk..just kiddin'..but at 3 1/4 lbs at 4 months, he is getting there.. My thoughts are with everyone who have lost their ferrets..I usually skip over the post of ferrets passing over, not all the time, because I always cry. Today we had 3 go to the bridge...and I wanted to express my sympathy. June louis and the zoo [Posted in FML issue 2798]
