So many of our posts lately (mine included) have been very serious or expressing some anger, disappointment, etc. Well, time for a fun moment..... In the tradition of other 'polls', here goes another! What have you done or not done because of your ferrets? What silly thing have you done and hoped no one witnessed? Come on, we've all done goofy things for or because of our ferrets that non-ferret lovers think we are crazy for doing!! For instance - I was caught this evening dunking individual pieces of Totally Ferret into Ferretone and feeding it to our 7 year old ferret, Moe, who was curled up inside my big fleece shirt (and yes, I was wearing the shirt with a turtleneck under it, he was between the two layers). I thought everyone was upstairs and I turn around to see my boyfriend shaking his head, laughing as I fed a piece down the front of the shirt to Moe. Hey, what's a few crumbs in the shirt, doesn't everybody deserve a snack in bed now and again??!! Or one that got me strange looks at the jewelry store. We've been talking marriage and he is clueless what kind of ring, so I've been looking around a bit. I met my girlfriend this weekend at the mall. We popped into a few jewelry stores. Well, we picked out a few rings and I was trying them on. Too big, too small, nah, don't like that design. Oooh, that one is really pretty. Try it one, and the guy notices I am looking at the ring with my eye level with the back of my hand. I respond, very pretty, but I could never wear that, it sits too high. Not to worry, he says, our mountings are guaranteed. I laugh, it's not the ring I'm worried about, it would get in the way when I play with my ferrets. Yep, got one of those really weird looks from him and my girlfriend as he all but snatched back the ring!! Hey, what can I say, gotta have priorties!!! So come on everybody, share one of those moments you've been caught in or something you do that you hope no one ever finds out about. Don't worry, we won't tell ANYBODY!! Hugs to everyone, Jen and Gang [Posted in FML issue 2941]
