Ferrets are becoming ever-popular!!  I'm not an avid television fan, but on
learning that there was due to be some appearance by a ferret on a show due
on... I felt compelled to watch ;o) ... ahhh ferret addiction rears it's
head hehe
 
The show was "Casualty" - set in a hospital in the UK somewhere - sorry the
people who know this show, I've never watched before!!  A boy came into the
hospital pretending to be sick... and showed his ferret to one of the
doctors because Lancelot (the ferret) hadn't been eating the past few days.
Needless to say, the staff (most of them) fell in love with dear Lancelot,
however, the ferret, as all ferrets are prone... escaped!  Imagine this...
doctors, nurses and a little boy running around looking for a loose ferret
in a busy A&E (Accident and Emergency) section of a hospital - trying not to
let the ferret be seen!!  (Something about health regulations ;o) )
 
Needless to say, the ferret was seen several times, the supervisor had to be
told ("A WHAT?  Aren't they those things that bite and crawl up your
trousers?") and escaped capture several times.  Finally, Lancelot appeared
(courtesy of a woman's scream!!  hahahaha) complete with a pursefull of
little squeaky babies <G> Guess Lancelot was more of a Guinevere hehe
 
Needless to say, purse, ferret and kits were taken into custody.  One more
appearance by the ferret, now 'safely caged', heralded comments of "You
know, stroking animals is supposed to be good for you?" and "What?  Sorry
madam, we couldn't resuscitate your husband, but here's a small furry rodent
to pet" followed along with a picture of mama Lancelot/Guinevere holding a
kit in her mouth.  Oh well, not all was perfect (rodent comment) but they
did use real ferret kit sounds!  That amazed the heck out of me hehe So, all
in all, a good appearance, made a lot of fun with the mere thought of what
trouble a ferret could get into if the situation was real!
 
Ahhh, they always show good things just before I leave ;o) thankfully not
just after!  Maybe one of these days I'll get around to packing.  Heavens,
I have a whole two days to start thinking of it hehe
