after being with my boy Snip for three, going on four years, i have
deturmined that:
 
1. ferrets are 10% hugs and kisses, 30% fur, 10% dooking and battle, and
50% poop.
 
2. EVERYTHING is more fun when your not sopposed to play with it.
 
3. Humans are easily manipulated, its good to be cute.
 
4. give me ferretone, ill give you kisses.  give me squash and ill bite
your toes.
 
5. dont laph when i dook, thats my way of saying im one powerful mammal!
 
6. you took me to town, you bought me a toy, we visited the park, i met
lots of little kids who you let take me on the slide, you took me to the
river, i got upset because a mean duck flapped his wings at me so you ran
him off and gave me a lot of ferretone to relax me, you gave me swimming
lessons even though i dont need them, i got to swing in the baby swing,
its been a good day, human o'mine, ill reward you by letting you pet me
until i fall asleep.
 
7. if ferrets are the pets and human are their masters, why do humans
clean up their poop and ferrets get all the ferretone and cuddling?
 
and finally-
8. everything smells better after a ferret takes a nap on it, everything
tastes better with ferret-spit in it, and everyday is better spent with a
ferret.
