My ferrets had the most incredibly vicious fight.

They got these special treats for Christmas that are gear-shaped, long-lasting and smell like maple syrup. There's only one left, and they spend their playtime hiding it from each other. Po hides it, and then a few minutes later, Bela sneaks over and steals it, and hides it, and then Po steals it, and so on ad infinitum. They're clever, but they don't have the best attention span, and when one gets distracted, the other steals the treat.

Today, they forgot where it was hidden. So they spent an hour frantically searching in every hiding place (the couch, the dresser, the other dresser, my bed, my lap), hissing at each other when they deemed it appropriate. And then Bela found the treat, and Po snatched it away from her, which pissed her off to no end, so now they're both in time-out. I'm just glad Bela didn't have a chance to pull out her knife. (Yes, she has one-- a plastic knife she's stashed somewhere in my couch. She pulls it out when she gets excited.)

It's like I've got two-year-olds.

Two-year-olds with plastic knives!

I liked the ferret story. There should be more ferret stories.

Beware of the box you just opened, for lo it is bottomless, and the stories are in endless supply...

I'm like a new mother. Every time anyone comes into my room, I say, "Did I tell you what the ferrets did today?" And they say, "Oh, god, not again."

I'd be more than happy to post more about my bebehs. :]

She loves her knife. And her stuffed bear. :]

But it's a good box!

Does she try to kill her stuffed bear with her plastic knife? That would be scary.

No. She LOVES her stuffed bear. She cuddles it and cleans it like it's her baby and hides it away so nobody can see it, because it's HER BEAR. Every once in a while, I have to take apart my couch and pull it out of the crevice in which she's wedged it and wash it, because it gets all spiky with ferret spit.

Anyone comes near her bear, and she may cut them. :]

I agree. More ferret stories please! Better than fanfiction, especially when nobody is updating!
I'm writing a paper (that was due last semester) and I'm out of procrastinatory devices. By the way, I love the pictures. More ferret pictures too!

SERIOUSLY. WHY IS NOBODY UPDATING?!!

Haha, okay, I'll try to write about them more. :]

LOLOLOL!!! Wow....that was the most amusing story! I had no idea ferrets were like that. A stashed knife?! Bwahaha! Total two year olds! :)

They're definitely a handful! :) But it's totally worth it. They make me happy.

And man, you should see them throw fits...

There should DEFINITELY be more ferret stories. They make me happy. :)

Haha, okay, okay. There may soon be more ferret stories than anyone could ask for. I got a million of 'em!

Your ferrets pull knives on each other.

This is in no way absolutely hilarious.

Only Bela! She's the irrationally violent one. Po is more sneaky. :]

Steal a ferret's treat and they'll cut a bitch. Man, the streets are rough these days.

*hugs* We ended up seeing the Chipmonk movie and I thought it was adorable! Not a terribly high brow movie and a very easy plot, but the chipmonks were so freaking cute. I want a Thedore for a pet.

I'm pretty sure Theodore was my favorite when I was little. :D

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm sorry I wasn't able to join you guys, but I'm really glad you had fun! :]

No worries, maybe next time, eh?

Yes. Knife wielding two-year-olds.

Every day is an adventure.
