Yesterday (Saturday) I was eating some chicken-fried rice. My largest (and youngest) ferret, Fuzzer wanted some. However, he couldn't quite reach high enough to grab the top of the table and pull himself up to try to get some. So, being an understandably intelligent ferret, he extended his head as far as he could and stretched his tongue over the edge of the coffee table in an attempt to "lick" some chicken pieces onto the floor where he could reach them! The funniest part, was that, from my point of view, there was nothing but a tongue sticking up past the edge of the coffee table. At first, I didn't know *what* to think. Then, visions of the disembodied hand from the Adams Family movies came to mind and I burst out laughing. Of course, Fuzzer didn't mind the laughter a bit and kept right on trying to sneak a snack!
