Although my fuzzies have never tried to steal anything as large as a motor vehicle or armor, they do have an object that they try to steal any chance they get - the camcorder. Perhaps they have a great idea for a ferret movie - "Citizen Ferret", "The Dook-inator", "Ferrets of the Lost Raisin" or "Close Encounters of the Fuzzy Kind" But it isn't just the camcorder. Mina is a shutterbug - every time I get the camera out, she comes running (which makes it difficult to get any pictures of her). One time I was trying to get a picture of Josette, and Mina climbed on my shoulder and tried to snap the picture before I was ready! She probably would have succeeded if she had pressed just a little bit harder. I know there are photo contests for pictures *of your ferrets, but have you heard of any contests for pictures taken *by your ferrets? Mina also tries to steal the lens caps and the tripod, and she "helps" mommie by putting her wet little nose all over the front of the lens - just a reminder that it needs to be cleaned, I think. Who needs to hire assistants when you have ferrets? Chris and Vanessa, Mina (Ready? OK, everyone say "RAISIN!" <snap>) Josette (I wonder if George Lucas would co-produce my movie...)
