Laura Said: >Ferrets are WAY cooler than Snickers Bars and Reese Cups! Well, okay...but ferrets aren't delicious and covered in chocolate! (Well...mine never have been...though there WAS that incident when we toured Willy Wonka's factory, and Tucker mistook an Oompa-Loompa for an N-Bone...n/m. Forget I said anything!!! (Litigation still is pending...IF they can find us!) ...My husband's favorite "thing" to do with Pixie is to flip her over and gnaw on her belly -- which she LOVES. So he might argue wither way on this one. Kesrael said: >I've had my ferrets mistaken for: Rats (they weren't even adrenal!); >Skunks (the ferret wasn't black or white...); Muskrats (huh?); Dogs >(huh??); Weasels; Minks Well, Tuckaboy sorta looks rat-ish, I suppose, if you discount his tail not being bald...and he has those cute little teddy-bear ears. And his face isn't shaped like a rat's...and he has that arch in his back...but other than that, he looks EXACTLY like sort of a weaselly-rat-sorta-critter-thing. Skunks? Well, jeez, ma'am -- aren't you familiar with Southwestern Sable Skunks? You find them all over the place -- pet shops and shows and stuff. They have long, slender bodies that arch, and cute little beady-ish eyes; adorable little teddy-bear ears; long, pointy-ish muzzles that are bewhiskered; and many of them make a distinctinve "doook" sort of noise when they're happy or excited. (Huh? WHAT? Those are FERRETS?? What the -?!?!) Muskrats? Next! Dogs. Dogs. Hmmmmm.....ok...ok...since a lot of breed of dogs are pretty "ratty" in my opinion (such as chihuahuas)(my apologies to any Mexican rat-dog lovers in the audience), I guess I can understand the confusion. Weasels? MINKS? You got me on that one. Ferts resemble neither one, not a bit. PFFFT. Ferrets really look a lot more like the Southwestern Sable Skunk, I'm tellin' ya... Go Google it fer gossake! Look it up, since you don't believe me! -Eri (who probably will get a lot of hate mail from Chihuahua lovers...) -- /\_/\ (>"<) (")_(").:*ÂÂ*:.ERI.:*ÂÂ*:. Eri's Crochet Circle at Yahoogroups!
