a more light hearted post than heartworm, for your amusement. I designed a sweater for submission to an online magazine last year, and it involves trying to take high quality photos for them to use. so I got my boyfriend Patrick, who is not a ferret fan, to pose in his sweater, and my friend Ina to take the photos. I think we ended up with some super funny ones! here's the link, click on the thumb nails to see larger ones. http://ravel.me/littlesplines/yyy I also started learning spinning about a year and a half ago, and this year, I decided to try and collect the ferrets' winter coats. my 2 year old Aurum is quit the trooper, and had yield a few grams of fur for me, while my girls (6&7 years) have shed nothing except what got shaved from the bellies for ultrasounds. I haven't started spinning with the fur yet, but if anyone want to share their experience, I'll love to hear it! Selina, Mochi, Jolt, Cola & Aurum [Posted in FML 7388]
