I've been taking note of the latest string of posts that are requesting a
change of the name for a group of ferrets... and I must tell you that I
still like the term "business" and here's why: Ferrets, being extremely
inquisitive by nature, make it their "business" to investigate everything.
They make it their "business" to find out what's at the bottom of my plant
pots; they make it their "business" to find out just how many clothes they
can rearrange in a single afternoon; they make it their "business" to find
out what is at the top of my clothes closet and just how many clothes they
have to climb to get there; they make it their "business" to see just how
hard they can bite and how fast they can get away before being caught; they
make it their "business" to see how much trouble they can get into before
they hear my footfalls coming down the hall; they make it their "business"
to investigate the refrigerator everytime the door is open; they make it
their "business" to collect as many balled up socks as they can and to
distribute them anywhere but in the sock drawer; they make it their
"business" to find the latest hiding spot for the linatone... The list goes
on and on....
 
I like the term "business" but I must admit it did throw me initially when
I first heard it.  But after I thought about it for awhile, I thought it is
a very fitting term.
 
One final thought... they also make it their "business" to love
unconditionally...
