Hi Everybody... There are red letter days and there are better red letter days.. but I'd like to share a really great one with you!! This morning will live on in memory forever as the first time I ever set eyes on 'the perfect vehicle'!!! there I was, making the dawn rounds for foodstuffs for the kids [all species], and I just turned the corner and there it was!! So low you couldn't imagine any other critter inside of any species... legs too long/never fit.. and so wide and flat and square it looked like the perfect ferret transport// lots of play room, no heights to fall from, plenty of romp room, huge back cargo area for sleep sacks and toys and litter box and play room besides.. 4 wheel drive so it can go anywhere... fairly narrow windows [not tall].. so less sun to hurt the eyes while romping and less heat.. absolutely rock steady on any surface so ferret-in-face antics and ferret-landing-in cup-of-hot-coffee errors won't cause vehicle damage.. super good lights for night ferret games.. runs on most anything so when broke from buying too many ferret treats and toys you won't get stranded.. and... well it has many many other wonderful attributes... but the clincher, is that it comes in full ferret colour preference.. no garish or mundane or depressing human colours..no siree, but in full glorious camophlage.. I guess one could repaint it so to fit into human societies.. but for ferrets the hide-and-pounce colour scheme is just perfect!! Some humans aspire to a caddilac, some to a mercedes, some to a lambourghini, but not I... for me its this epitome of ferretitis... the HUMMER !!!! I felt I had to share this with other victims of terminal ferret addiction/no known cure.. after all who am I to hoard such knowledge from a public who needs and wants to know.. right??? what do you think?? Should this news be let out..or the treasure be kept secret?... will it cause unrest and hummeritis attacks on a national scale thus wrecking the whole social order?? :] at any rate... I just sat there stunned and admiring for just forever.. until some unworthy soul appeared and stole my vision of beauty away... of course he had the keys at the time.. but it was sad to see it go just the same.. I felt robbed.. I am even now seeking a picture to put up on a wall to just admire! [I must say I resent the comment by one person I have asked about a picture, that the HUMMER was designed to use in wars.... but we ARE in an FFZ here and the ignorant person couldn't know ferret dominance tiffs never escalate to outright mass combat...] so... my morning was spent having a 'profound experience/ a la ferret!
