I still miss Oscar the dog, my original reading buddy. I’ll be sure to get lots of pictures of him when we visit my parents in a couple of weeks.

Hey, come here!

Another old camera picture. Ferrets don’t usually stand like this away from walls and other objects to help support them.

Emo ferret is emo.

Another old camera picture that I hadn’t posted. When Minion does this, he stretches out on the ground and deflates until he looks like a little rug with eyes.

A picture from the old camera of our boys looking cute and innocent. Their noses should be getting bigger by the second. 😛

WARNING: Ferrets are not for everyone

1.) For their own safety, ferrets should not be allowed to roam free in the house without supervision. Ferrets have far too much curiosity and not enough sense of self preservation.
2.) Ferrets should have 1-4 hours of playtime every day (how much really depends on your ferret; mine pass out after 1 to 2 hours). A playpen will work in a pinch, but a ferret-proofed room in your house is preferable. They love to run (and to be chased)!
3.) Ferrets do not live very long in the US (on average only about 6 years). They are also very prone to health issues. There *will* be vet bills. Minion cost us $600 when he had a blockage from ingesting part of a couch, and that's *without* surgery.
