As a ferret owner I'm sure we've all become used to the typical questions
of those not familiar with these wonderful animals.  Is that a rat?!
What kind of dog is that?  Do they bite?  Do they really smell as bad as
I've heard?  etc...
 
Today I had to pass on the cutest "new" one that came from a 5 year old
at the park today.  He asked the usual questions- what is it, does it
bite, can I pet it... then he asked what she eats.  I told him she eats
kitten food and he got this shocked look and said, " She doesn't eat
Koala food!?"  I have to say I have never had anyone make the connection
to a koala and found it pretty amusing.
 
Made my first hammie last night... Wasn't as easy as I thought doing it
freehand.  My son found some spongebob squarepants fabric though and some
really soft fabric (forget what it is, it's used on infant pajamas
though- real soft on one side..) and he wanted me to make one for her.
I've made a lot of stuff before, but just guessed to make this.  Anyone
have specific measurements/sewing suggestions I could use if I ever want
to make another one?  I used snaps on this one and they seem to be
working OK, but I wasn't sure if there was something else that worked
better???  I thought about velcro...
 
Still looking for another ferret for Kiki.  If anyone lives near
Indianapolis and knows a ferret needing a home email me.  (... we're so
eager to get another we've already decided on a name... Minky Boodle
~it's a space ghost/brak thing..)
