Hey and Dooks to all the little fuzz-butts, Thank you, thank you <bows, courtsies, bows kisses> to all of you that appreciated my little song effort. I do need to clarify a few things. For those "dementias" and "dementites" out there, if you were not familiar with the song Frere Jacques, it is the same tune as "Harry's Jockstrap". An old comedy song from the 60's or 70's. <Wind up those radios dementias and dementites !!> Secondly, regarding the verse about Dooks! In case I had forgotten <funny, I don't remember becoming senile> to tell the story . . . . It was NOT a Petco employee that said he would let the fert go. It was a person who had bought him month(s) earlier that had returned him. When the man threatened that " ...if you don't take him, I'll get rid of him MY way ..." the clerks took custody of the fert until they could find him a home. Since the employees know of my love for ferts, I was asked if I knew someone who would provide a good home for him <hint!>. He was extremely shakey, scared, and nippy (who wouldn't be ??). I am happy to report that I brought him for a visit to the Petco on Sunday and he had lots of fun PLAYING, CUDDLING, KISSING, and LOVING IT UP with the employees !!! I take great joy and pride in bringing my kids to the local petstores so people can get "first hand" experience with these wonderful kritters. I think there was enough flame retardant applied here. I didn't want anyone to think the employees of my local Petco had threatened to release the fert. Sorry if the message was misunderstood. Prayers to the ill and those who have gone to The Bridge. Warm hugs and kisses to the kids. Is this how the expressions "Feeling the warm fuzzies..." and "got a case of the warm fuzzies" came about ? Hmmm? And "Don't forget to STAY DEMENTED !!!"
