Ferret Bueller's Day Off

April '99 Adventures on the Manatee River, Florida

6 AM?!? On a SATurDAY? That's not in the contract!

Yippee! I LOVE the taste of rubber rafts. Me next, me next!

When they're gone, I'm tunnelling outa here. I wanna see my DeeDee, I wuv her..

."Follow me,boys! Don't trust Aunty, she's a HUMAN, she's gonna drownd us, just like when I fell into the bubblebath!", panted Arnold.

Are we there yet? Where's the litter box. Oops! Nevermind, heh heh

"Water water ever'whar and narry a drop ta drink. Say, Guinness, don't ya think you're leanin' out too far? Guinness, listen to your bruddah Arnold!"

"Arnie wuz right. He-e-lp! Ferret overboard! Oh Great Ferret if you save me I'll never bite another toe, I'll won't try ta steal the mousepad and I won't ever again drag Zo-Zo around by her ear, I Promise. Oh Aunty, save your widdle Guinness!"

"Oh thank you Great Ferret for answering my prayer", Guinness "duked" softly as he dozed in his rescuer's arms. (...which didn't stop him from pee'ing on her just two minutes later).

"All together now: We joined the NAVY to see the world, and what did we see? We saw the SE-E-EA..."

"Sailing, sailing, HO-O-OME again, to see the other seas we haven't seen!"

Oh ferret! it's good to be home". Arnold yawned sleepily.

"Hello? Guinness? Arnold? Aunty? Did you forget someONE? Hello, is anyone out there? I tasted the boat and now it's hissing at me, and the water seems to be getting closer... do you think it's mad at me?!!...Hello... anyone??!"

Golly...I'm plumb wore out. Nighty night, don't let the bedbugs bite! ... and may the Great Ferret in the Sky keep you far, far away from Animal "Shelters".
