Oh, yes, Pam Grant, we think that's a great New Year's resolution! Mom is saving her gift money to buy a camera so she can take more pictures of beautiful us! Hee hee. We got a hammock (from the "You know your ferret is spoiled ..." contest), a bandanna that's really cute but we usually squirm until we get it off, a T-shirt that is too tight and none of us can wear, and two stuffed plaid fishes from Eddie Bauer that we have hidden in sundry places around the house. Mom got us some Cheerios, which we had never tasted before, and we think they're pretty good. She also got us some candy canes that we haven't eaten yet (she said we could have a little teeny piece). Then a bunch of people came over Christmas night, and we got lots of attention. We showed off our new ferret calendar, and everybody loved the pictures. Even the kitties got lots of attention, and we didn't mind. We got the most beautiful greeting card with a picture of a ferret hanging inside a stocking from Ronnie DiComo. Mom wanted us to open our own gifts, but she had to help us a lot. Some friends came over just before Christmas and brought four ferrets with them -- their names are Halley, Rikki, Tiki, and Tavia. Eight of us ferrets were scampering around and piling on top of each other to sleep. We took up the whole bed so Aunt Cyndi and Uncle Mike didn't have much room. Life is good.
