To Amy Evers re: drinking water from a cup Drinking water from a cup does taste much better, but, in our family what REALLY TASTES BETTER is drinking the water from Mommys fingertips !! Both my fuzzies come running anytime I'm in the tub because they loooove for me to drip water off my fingertips for them. I havent figured out why yet and I dont really care either because watching them beg and fall all over each other and slipandslide down the side of the tub trying to keep their balance brings me more joy at the end of the day than I probably deserve! Whatever the reason it must be pretty important considering it lures them away from all those other neccessary "ferret things" they must do each night like climbing in the couch and stealing the remote and attacking the evil plants!! ! Why do ferrets do anything? Because they look so cute doing it! Of course I sing to my ferrets! My favorite song is for my deaf (and a little slow) Valentine boy. I hold him right up against my face so he can feel me singing and say "Roly Poly-Mommys Little Fattie" then I hold him belly out and say "Hubba Hubba Hubba Yep Yep Yep" all while I'm shaking his big 'ol belly. I'd swear you can see him smiling! Funny thing is... at work I can catch myself singing the same song and dancing around a little and it makes me smile too. Im thankful for them every single day. It makes me wonder how I survived all those "pre-ferret" years. What did I do for fun back then anyway? BIG KISSES TO EVERYONES FUZZIES FROM ME!!
