Since there have been a lot of posts about ferrety songs, I decided to share a bit of my own silliness with everyone. I'm always singing to my ferrets. I'll make up new words to already existing songs to match whatever is going on at the time. Last night I decided my babies had built up too much dander. So to decrease it, I rub them down with distilled water, instead of a full bath. They seem to tolerate it better, and it doesn't dry out their skin as much, but makes a big difference as far as allergens go. I started singing, "It's ferret torture time," (to the tune of the old Howdy Doody theme). The really funny thing was the moment I started singing, they started running away from me, as if they could understand what I was saying. I hadn't even grabbed the washcloth yet, so there was no way they could know what I was about to do. Maybe they just don't like my singing, (everybody's a critic). Better not quit my day job, huh!
