MY PALS: Samie

I know, I know — a lot of pix lately of Beagle Man with other pets.  Hmmm.  Well, at least this one’s not another dog, so I don’t really have a problem with it.  Meet my friend Samie the Ferret, who weighs in at a whopping 2 pounds!  Truth is, I don’t know how accurate that measurement is.  Slava and Luba, his owners, tried to weigh him on a postage scale — but he wouldn’t sit still.  Good for him.  That’s exactly what I do when they try to put me on the scale at the vet.  Seriously — who needs to know my weight besides me?  That’s confidential stuff.  Samie almost fell asleep on B-Man’s shoulder, which absolutely amazed S & L; they said he’s usually kind of hyper around strangers.  The B-Man has that effect, though.  Word has it that he used to be able to get Matt, Greg, and Robby — even Cousin Kat — to sleep when they were babies just by picking them up and rocking them.  I don’t know if it’s that he’s naturally comforting — or just boring — but I know it works.  When I’m feeling nuts, especially just before or after one of my seizures, he’ll hold me like that and soon I feel a lot better.
