I got in the habit with Pigpen, a deaf albino, to always stroke a ferret a bit before picking them up when they're asleep to avoid startling them. This always results in a sweet lazy yawn, sometimes with the little paws curled around whiskery faces. The other day, I found all four of my kids piled up sleeping together when it was time to put them to bed and get their dinner. I scritched one on the head, and got a cute little yawn, and then petted another and another and got the same thing. Yawn, stretch, go back to sleep, yawn, stretch, go back to sleep, yawn, stretch, go back to sleep. I know that's MY favorite thing to do! At one point, I had all four of them yawning simultaneously, and it was the cutest thing ever! It took me like fifteen minutes to out them to bed, 'cause they were just too adorable to just scoop up and put in a cage. They're so cute when they're sleeping...
