I took a night off from serious stuff and played with the drum and took a few photos of my ferrets. Only 4 of them came for photos. Meringue-atang was off elsewhere and Little Nicky doesn't play well . . .

You were so sweet and patient
with the humans in your care
you knew we meant to help you
though sometimes it isn't fair
that you should have to suffer
for our errors as we try

My ferret Little Nicky did something really funny the other day. Sheila's cat wanted into the ferret room and is too fat to jump the gate, so he was at the Plexiglas gate pawing with both . . .

I've been feeling frustrated and depressed about my writing. I took a story I'd written for a Saturday WE prompt (where several people really liked it) to my real-life writing group and they panned it. . . .

I think ferrets should not be sold in pet stores.
The most pressing reason is that there is often a conflict of interest between making a profit and finding an appropriate home for the . . .

A few evenings ago I had to have my ferret, Little Nicky, put to sleep. He was 6-1/2 years old, but it was still not long enough. Anyone who has lost a pet will understand that feeling.
He was . . .

I just learned this morning that one of the ferrets I adopted out died last night. She'd climbed into the dishwasher and the owner didn't see her. That's a really sucky way to die.
It's especially . . .

This is Jax, one of the new ferrets at the Hide-E-Hole shelter.
Someone witnessed Jax being tossed out of a car. They did it on a suburban street, apparently because they just . . .

A couple of our volunteers caught some nasty stomach virus ... and gave it to their ferrets. They handled ferrets that were at the shelter (including some we were babysitting).
Two of their ferrets . . .

Well, the economy has gone down the tubes and taken the shelter with it. We are officially broke. After the vet cashes the last check, we will have under $100 in the bank. The credit card is nearly maxed . . .

As some of you know, I run a ferret shelter. They're lively, fun little creatures with a knack for getting into things and chomping on bare toes. I tell people that ferrets have more personality . . .

I keep a list of potential ferret names on the filing cabinet next to my computer. This is for ferrets who come into the shelter either nameless (found on the street or unnamed by owner) or named . . .

In doing some research for a Squiddo article, I did a Google search on the phrase "ferrets have a higher brain to body ratio than dogs and cats". This is something I say often, but I was curious if there . . .

Last night, my unnaturally intelligent and mischievous ferret, Geronimo, learned a new trick. I am so screwed. I have to go out and get child locks for all my cabinets and drawers! ACK!!

A couple weeks ago, I got a call from a guy who said he needed to surrender his ferret. He told me the ferret had "that disease ... you know, the one where their hair falls out." He said . . .

Cara Martin (of Pittsburgh, PA) had left her ferrets with Bob & Kelly Sokolsky (of Latrobe or Derry, PA) while she went to London. She paid him to ferret-sit. She just got an email Sunday (1/6/08) . . .

I had one of the worst surrenders in my tenure as a shelter mom this evening. This is Jillybean. She didn't have a name when she arrived, so that's what I gave her. It seems to fit. . . .

The shelter is in desperate need of cleaning, but I was just too tired to do it last night. So here I am at work again, slaving away, when I get an email from my credit card company. Seems someone has . . .

Okay, what do you think of this idea?
The hills are alive with the sound of ... ferrets! To the song "Doe a deer" ...
Doh! I stepped into some poop.
