You know your ferrets are spoiled when...
 
...One decides she wants to sleep in the second drawer of your desk, and
another wants to sleep in the first drawer, so you just throw away or move
all the stuff that used to be in either drawer and fill it with t-shirts
instead....
 
...You purposely leave your shoes out just because it gives one of your
ferrets so much joy to be able to steal the insole....
 
...One of them decides you've been working too hard and starts to chew on
your folders of dissertation notes, and you just laugh and start a towel
game (although you *do* hope you aren't reinforcing the idea that destroying
dissertation data is a good thing....)
 
...You shiver at night because the ferrets have all the extra blankets...
 
Obligatory cute story - A friend just got a mastiff puppy, and was bringing
it over to meet our deerhound, gruagach.  While Winnie (the puppy) was here,
we introduced him to the ferrets, carefully holding Falstaff up to Winnie's
nose so they could sniff one another.  Winnie promptly sticks out his tongue
and gives Falstaff a great big lick!  Of course, a mastiff's tongue is
bigger than a ferret's entire face - Falstaff scrunched up his little nose
and pulled back his head - you could almost hear him saying "YLCH!!!!!!  DOG
SLOBBER!"
