Hiya all! I hope everyone had a nice holiday season. Only 3 more days left of school vacation. :( All right! Mid-term tests next! ;) Anyway, Tuesday, my mom, dad, and I drove up to New Hampshire for a nice day of skiing on Wednesday. The ferrets stayed here, (K2 doesn't make ferret sized skis! :) and our neighbor who is awesome with ferrets and loves mine to death came over to give them supervised play-time on Tuesday night. On Wed. we went skiing at Loon. (The skiing was great) Loon has this "wild animal show" at different times during the day, and they have a separate building for it, off the lodge. When you exit Loon, you pass by the building. On the side of the building that you pass as you exit, there are silhouettes of different animals, and wouldn't you know, there was a shadow of some type of weasel, that looked just like a ferret begging! It was so cute! Has anyone else seen it? It's right in the middle, and it is sitting on a stump. Anyway, I have a cute story to share. A few nights ago the ferrets were out and I was making my bed, so I could go to sleep. I knew one of my cats was in my room, but I didn't know where she was. So, I gathered the ferrets, and told them to "go find the kitty". And, low and behold, they both took off, underneath my bed, and about 5 seconds later, my poor cat came running out from under the bed, with the two ferrets in close pursuit. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. It was especially funny that the ferrets are about 1/3 the size of the cat! Is everyone else's cats afraid of their fuzzies? Well, I went on a little, ahem, shopping spree for the ferrets..again. I went to Petsmart, and got them a new water bottle. It is one of those ones made by Oasis (the waterbottle company, not the band ;) and it has this cute picture of a ferret begging on it. I also got them 2 new toys. You know what? Petsmart doesn't sell very good ferret toys. Some very dangerous ones actually. (Foam balls) So, I went over to the cats section, and got them 2 ferret safe toys there. I also got a kitten brush. I tried to brush them today, but they wouldn't hear it. Oh well, they'll get used to it I guess. Well, I've done enough rambling. Talk to you all later! Ashley:) [Posted in FML issue 2174]
