Just an observation! The other day someone said they thought that because Da Vinci painted to scale that the ferret would have to weigh 10-15 lbs in his painting lady with ermiane, so perhaps it wasn't a ferret. I thought wow, what a BIG ferret. But then I thought about my own 2 lb fert. He lays across my body pretty much. So, off to the bathroom mirror ferret in arms. I am 5 ft 1in. tall . I held Fuzzy in that same position only his head actually came above my shoulders slightly . His body draped neatly along my arm across my body and his tail stuck out on the other side of my waist. Didn't take a 10-15 pound ferret at all. All it took was my fuzzmeister and his 2.2 pounds of pure fury and love *LOL* Mary Jo [Posted in FML issue 4257]
