Lots of people have written in with their views that the judging discussion seems frivolous with the issues of Katrina, the USDA, and other issues. But, having been through Hurricane Charley, I realize that there are times when we need to focus on something that is not so devastating. If the debate on judging is what they need, then I, for one, will just skim past those posts. Personally, I'm glad to see the ferret story continuing, and would love to see some additional posts about the cute stuff our little ones do. And to practice what I preach, here's my recent story: my little male loves to drink water out of a cup, and when he's almost done, he'll take a mouthful and spit it out on your hand to lick it off. Which is normally very cute... unless his sister distracts him, and he runs away with the mouthful, realizes he has it, and spits it out on the small of your back instead!
