Smoke and Rowdy the ferrets are driving mommy crazy!
We bought them the playpen to stay in for hours on end to they wouldn’t be cooped up in the cage all day. Since ferrets only have a 3 hour digestive cycle, let’s just say there would be a lot of “leftovers” to clean up after they were done playing in their playpen. We’re talking about the kind of leftovers that a pooper scooper just can’t get all of.
I bought an additional litter pan and used the snaps that came with the litter pan to snap it to the playpen cage. Obviously they thought it was a new luxury bed, because this is what they did with it:
They threw all of the ferret litter out of it, detached it from the playpen cage and used it to sleep in. I tried to clean things up, refill the pan with litter and tie to to the cage again with no avail. They decorated their house the way they wanted.
Needless to say…me and the ferret pooper scooper are great friends now!
What, in your opinion, is the best book that you haven’t liked? Mind you, I don’t mean your most-hated book–oh, no. I mean the most accomplished, skilled, well-written, impressive book that you just simply didn’t like.
Ironically enough, it was War of the Worlds. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the movie, but reading the book was just pure torchure. Then again, I’m more of a visual person, so reading something like War of the Worlds was not my cup of tea from the beginning.
This was also around the time I was in high school. I think 1985 and War of the Worlds were “have to” reads in high school.
This is turning out to be my favorite time of the week, here’s my Camera Critter’s meme for the weekend:
We lost power last week for a few days due to the after effects of Hurricane Ike wind’s coming through the Ohio Valley. Oso (my dog), Smoke & Rowdy (the ferrets) stayed in the room with us throughout it all.
This was probably the longest we’ve had the ferrets in their playpen, especially since the box that the playpen came in specifically said that it was not suppose to be used as a cage.
For those that want to know, you can get the ferret playpen for $39.95 here.
Autumn is starting (here in the US, anyway), and kids are heading back to school–does the changing season change your reading habits? Less time? More? Are you just in the mood for different kinds of books than you were over the summer?
-Booking Through Thursday Meme
Well, seeing that the Hurricane Ike winds made it to the my home in the Ohio Valley and knocked out power to everyone for almost a week (I just got my power back a few days ago), my reading habits have picked up a bit, seeing that my computer and TV was not #1 priority to plug into the generator when the power went out.
I’m more of an electronic online reading girl, all day, all the time. I read a lot of news online, and if I want to read an interesting story, I’ll open up a fanfic. I know I’ve been getting really into Digg which is a social bookmarking site, for getting all my news stories…and I’ve also been using it for exposure to this website.
The last book I read was Rescuing Sprite, which I coincidentally read when the power got knocked out last time. I had that book finished in one night and now, I’ve started reading Marley & Me which is wonderful so far.
So basically to answer the question, the changing seasons might sometimes have an effect on my reading habits, but very rarely. When the mood strikes me is random…but I’m a random person like that.
Going back to the subject of participating in meme’s, here’s one for you animal lovers out there. It’s called the Camera Critters Meme. I know I personally love animals so if you want to post your links to pictures of your little critter baby, feel free.
Here’s my camera critter for the weekend, Smoke the ferret:
We keep her and her big sister, Rowdy in the playpen every weekend instead of keeping them cooped up in the cage so they can freely play around anytime they want while I’m running around the house doing cleaning, laundry or grocery shopping. Smoke likes to sleep on top of the towels, Rowdy cuddles underneath it.
Since their introduction, social network sites (SNSs) such as MySpace, Facebook, Cyworld, and Bebo have attracted millions of users, many of whom have integrated these sites into their daily practices. As of this writing, there are hundreds of SNSs, with various technological affordances, supporting a wide range of interests and practices. While their key technological features are fairly consistent, the cultures that emerge around SNSs are varied. Most sites support the maintenance of pre-existing social networks, but others help strangers connect based on shared interests, political views, or activities. Some sites cater to diverse audiences, while others attract people based on common language or shared racial, sexual, religious, or nationality-based identities. Sites also vary in the extent to which they incorporate new information and communication tools, such as mobile connectivity, blogging, and photo/video-sharing. (via)
