Helloe fellow ferret owners, I'm being unforgivingly forced to make a short speech in one of my classes in a few weeks. I thought a short talk on ferrets would be appropriate as well as entertaining to the audience. Has anyone got any suggestions for a short 5-7 minute talk on why ferrets may/may not be the pet for an individual? I'm also looking for funny stories that other satanic posessed carpet shark owners may have that I can share. Regarding Slinky's love for diet coke cans: My little crazy ferret Ashley has the same habits! My new roomate moved in a few weeks ago and he insisted on having a paper bag sitting out to place aluminum cans in for recycling. I told him that Ashley would be _inside_ the bag in no time at all to check out the contents, but I had no clue that she'd actually move the cans underneath my bed, one by one! I managed to get a picture of her stealing the 7-UP can and bouncing towards my room with it. I had the photo shop crop the picture and enlarge it. Looks like a 7-UP commercial! And boy did I get a lot of comments from the photo shop workers! Tim and Ashley PS: I'm thinking about taking Ashley to class the day of the speech. Wonder if it would be a good idea? ******************************************************************** Tim Baggett, AA5DF Electrical Engineering Student New Mexico State University [Posted in FML issue 0861]
