Felix and Kira

[Tina Tomastik]

My dog wants to be a ferret.  I made Felix another dig box with potting mix (it's a bit full I need to dump some into my garden).  I found out that dirt is ferret cat nip, he loves his box.  Well, I left the top off while Felix was playing and left the area (I am soo blonde).  My son found our 1 yr old dog Kira had dug out a hollow in the dirt and was laying in it.  This happened twice before I learned my lesson (again, blonde).  Felix likes to stash things from the recycle bin under the couch and Kira likes to take things from the trash or recycle to play with outside.  We kennel her when we have to to minimize this.  Now Kira has started taking things she left alone before but that Felix likes.  Felix is teaching her how to be a really good ferret.  Also Kira got Felix's leftover tube of furrovite and snuck outside with it and ate it, she is fine, it didn't hurt her.  Kira tries to crawl under the couch with Felix but all that fits is her head while Felix is running to the next couch, bookcase, dig box, etc.  Next I'll have to make a dog sized hammock... hmmm... how much material will I need to hold a 40lb dog and where will I hang it from?
