Although my fuzzies have never tried to steal anything as large as a motor
vehicle or armor, they do have an object that they try to steal any chance
they get - the camcorder.  Perhaps they have a great idea for a ferret movie
- "Citizen Ferret", "The Dook-inator", "Ferrets of the Lost Raisin" or
"Close Encounters of the Fuzzy Kind"
 
But it isn't just the camcorder.  Mina is a shutterbug - every time I get
the camera out, she comes running (which makes it difficult to get any
pictures of her).  One time I was trying to get a picture of Josette, and
Mina climbed on my shoulder and tried to snap the picture before I was
ready!  She probably would have succeeded if she had pressed just a little
bit harder.  I know there are photo contests for pictures *of your ferrets,
but have you heard of any contests for pictures taken *by your ferrets?
Mina also tries to steal the lens caps and the tripod, and she "helps"
mommie by putting her wet little nose all over the front of the lens - just
a reminder that it needs to be cleaned, I think.  Who needs to hire
assistants when you have ferrets?
 
Chris and Vanessa,
Mina (Ready?  OK, everyone say "RAISIN!" <snap>)
Josette (I wonder if George Lucas would co-produce my movie...)
