You know you're a ferret owner when... you start having your ferret's dreams! Last night I dreamed that I was invited to a big banquet, at a rather medieval looking grey limestone banquest hall. I decided to go early to see some of the food being prepared. When I got to the kitchen, I saw that the main dish to be served were giant mice! The mice were being dressed, stuffed, etc for cooking. I was very excited and thought that this would be a delicious dinner! Then I started to wake up, and thought as I surfaced "ooh, this is a good dream, I'll have to go right back into it when I fall back asleep." But somehow my sleepy brain realized that this was actually a very strange dream. And there was Amelia, sound asleep curled up against me, her little paws twitching... I thought about the size of a mouse relative to the size of a ferret, and the size of the dream-mice relative to me, and it seemed to me the proportions were about the same. All I can think is that I somehow picked up Amelia's dream. After all, the only color I remember from it (and I usually dream in color) was the (sorry to be graphic) blood and flesh of the mice, bright red, the only color that most ferrets see. I don't think she's ever eaten a mouse, but boy, she sure seemed to be looking forward to it...
