hi there we had a great time at ferretstock in new hampshire saturday! it was a gorgeous day and a pretty good turn out of people and fuzzies :.) i won best comstume for one of my ferrets, i had 4 of them there. brinley (1st place) was a princess, smokey was a wizard, minka was a lady bug and cute little cedrick was a bumble bee, they were sooo cute!!! although smokey and minka were very upset with me for dressing them up <grin>. i went to defend my title for best ferret tattoo on human and won for my third year now :.) i love that contest!!!! i was a little bummed though cause the last two years i got a trophy for that event, i was looking forward to placing another trophy on the shelf but i got a different prize this year for the contest. but all in all it was a fantastic day and i met a lot of people and most importantly, it was for a good cause!!!! to raise money for the shelter and avd research :.) i am certanly hoping alicia continues to have this event every year, i always look very forward to this ferret event and would like to go more many more years!!! alicia, if you are out there....you definitly need to do this again next year!!!!! it is sooooo much fun!!!! melissa :.)
