Baby ferret dreams of changing THE WORLD

by Meg on August 24, 2008

One day, [dreamily] ferrets won’t be seen just as furry knee socks with eyes, or hammock-dwelling, mischievous ne’er do-wells!

Dsc_0038

No! [shifts anerable feets] we ferrets will stand up and — Mmm, delicious blankie — lead other Pocket Pets by example!

Dsc_0028

No more shoe stealing, constant cat swiping or hiding under bed covers surprising humans when they least expect eet! —Yawn—

Dsc_0033

That day will come, Claire. It will.

Holy CRAP! While reading this an’ looking at said bebe ferret, a mysterious, involuntary, high pitched, long-toned squee emitted itself from the back of my throat. If anything can bring world peace, this teensy bit’o'heaven can.

13 Ellen 08.25.08 at 12:17 am

Commentary on these things has been getting way too long. In this case it was totally unnecessary.

Oh for the love of GOD!! I was ready to give up the ghost with the first pic, but then the cute little tongue action and mini-yawn/yelp!! I am beyond dead – can you be beyond dead? Whatever state that is, that is me. *sparks fly from head and brain*

23 Samantha 08.25.08 at 2:56 am

Oh, and Ellen…WTF?

39 berthaservant 08.25.08 at 7:32 am

All I do the whole night through
Is dream of you
And with the dawn
I still go on dreamin’ of you
You’re every thought
You’re everything
You’re every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring.
And were there more
Than twenty-four hours a day,
They’d be spent in sweet content
Dreamin’ away
When skies are gray
Skies are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime too
All I do the whole day through
Is dream of you…

40 Barbarella von Fluffenstein 08.25.08 at 7:56 am

Ded. And Happy Now. *dies*

41 Subhangi 08.25.08 at 8:35 am

42 Katrina 08.25.08 at 10:02 am

Oh, to think that little tahhhny thing will grow up to luurkensproing with the best of them, what a cute set of nicely captioned pix.
“Pixie pix”, as a matter of fact.

43 Pixy Misa 08.25.08 at 11:15 am

Bebeh fewwet! Bebeh fewwet! Bebeh fewwet! (Splodes)

44 Theresa 08.25.08 at 12:03 pm

“No more shoe stealing, constant cat swiping or hiding under bed covers surprising humans when they least expect eet!”

Don’t forget falling into the toilet on The Planet’s Funniest Animals. :P

45 mberkie0 08.25.08 at 12:16 pm

Teeny ferrety honkshus coming thru nice and clear now.
By the way, do ferrets snore? My cat does sometimes – makes me laugh when he does.

46 metsakins 08.25.08 at 12:27 pm

baby ferret tongue!!!

*proceeds to call in dead to work*

47 Dave 08.25.08 at 12:28 pm

That’s it – I am getting 100 baby ferrets and opening up a ferret plantation!

48 Claire 08.25.08 at 12:32 pm

Thanks ye Meg *huggles* Another one of my bebeh kneesocks has graced cuteoverload again! This is Flash-Lightning (Rascal the poonched up silver ferrets bebeh brother) when he was 5 weeks old when we decided he would be ours. He’s 12 weeks now and a deaf terrorist! and we love him! Clicky my name for more of him and my other fuzzles.

49 Totalee Puppy 08.25.08 at 12:45 pm

Aw, BERTHASERVANT–great song!! Who wouldn’t dream of this little guy with the tongue and the yawn?

50 Akialyn 08.25.08 at 12:46 pm

Oh for crying out loud I don’t even LIKE ferrets!

:looks at bebeh ferret:

:looks at door:

:looks at bebeh ferret:

:looks at door:

:stuffs bebeh ferret in pocket and makes a run for it:

51 Theo 08.25.08 at 1:12 pm

Akia —
the problem with that scenario is, now you have a ferret in your pocket.

52 Erebella 08.25.08 at 1:42 pm

Wow, that’s…..just…….uh………..wow. Yep, you deded me. Now I’m just waiting patiently to be reincarnated as a kneesock with eyes, hopefully.

53 katiedid 08.25.08 at 1:54 pm

“Mmm, delicious blankie”
lol That was the best.. that just made my day hahahah

54 Babs 08.25.08 at 1:55 pm

I wuv you, pwetty fewwet.

55 Katrina 08.25.08 at 1:56 pm

Theo: or?……

[Nope, sorry, it's just a ferret. Nothing personal. - Ed.]

56 gryt 08.25.08 at 2:32 pm

The leettle feetsies in the first pic are to die for…

57 David 08.25.08 at 3:23 pm

I wonder what babies, both human and non-human, dreams about. I mean, they can’t dream about being chased by a tiger because they wouldn’t even know what a tiger is…

58 Kar 08.25.08 at 3:24 pm

I bet he’d fit into a teaspoon. The easier to take once a day!

59 Claire 08.25.08 at 3:33 pm

Yes mberkie0 some of my ferrets do snore, it’s very like a honkshu noise! and all those intent on feezil snacking.. just say no!

60 GreedySkunk 08.25.08 at 3:47 pm

mberkie0: My ferrets don’t snore exactly, but they do make little snuffling sounds sometimes. Probably when they’re having especially good dreams about riding the majestic cat-steed into battle to defeat the dreaded Squeaking Candy Cane Plushy.

61 Eastie 08.25.08 at 3:51 pm

What a cute baby!

David – I’m pretty sure human babies dream about eating. I remember watching my niece sleeping when she was a baby, and she’d move her mouth like she was sucking on a nipple. When that’s all you know, that’s what you dream! I’d think it would tend to be the same for non-human babies. :)

62 David 08.25.08 at 5:54 pm

@Eastie, that makes sense.

63 carmen 08.25.08 at 5:57 pm

glad i took a break from snorgling my day old siberian huskies …baby ferret made it worth it.
back to the puppies : )

64 J. Bo 08.25.08 at 6:39 pm

[Gasps] Puppies, carmen? Husky puppies?!? PICTURES, PLEASE!

65 Sassy 08.25.08 at 7:20 pm

I didn’t think I could see any cuter picture ever until I saw the 2nd picture with the tongue sticking out. I think I just barfed a rainbow!

66 katiedid 08.25.08 at 7:51 pm

“I shall Leek you Mr. Blankie!!”

67 Marie 08.25.08 at 9:16 pm

Couldn’t love this ferret anymore. I’m nuts about these pics! Thanks!

68 Katrina 08.25.08 at 10:12 pm

and, carmen, I hope you brought enough (Siberian huskies)for everyone….
please we see them soooooon?

For those who were so kind to pray for my friend, she is coming along well, and for the love of God everyone, please get mammograms! Just a friendly reminder. (At least it wasn’t a reminder about spaying and… (runs from alcoholically-enhanced amarula fruit) being pitched)…

69 Sprock 08.25.08 at 10:18 pm

I, too, have been obsessively following the baby black footed ferret at the National Zoo via the ferretcam. (I actually saw the birth!!!!) I don’t care if the baby has been named “Peanut.” He’ll always be “Squirmy McThieverson” to me.

70 claudia 08.25.08 at 11:28 pm

OH the little pink tongue is too much. I coulda withstood the ferret pictures, really. Then I see the little pink tongue.
seriously, what a cute little baby!

71 jmuhj 08.26.08 at 1:12 am

That third shot is enuf to completely obliterate the human race. With Qteness.

*Gigantic SPLORT*

72 Raemie L. 08.26.08 at 2:21 am

76 mberkie0 08.26.08 at 1:04 pm

Did you see dose teeny teefs? Who knew ferreteenies were so cute? Would a ferreteeny fit in a tablespoon? You can see how little I know about dem, sorry to be so iggerant.

77 musicchick2 08.27.08 at 5:04 am

I squeal-ded a little bit more with each pic. ‘Den my hayed exploded!!!! Meg – you gotta put a warning on pics as potent as these!!!

78 darkshines 08.27.08 at 9:05 am

More to add to the “what do babies see when they dream” point. If you were blind from birth, do you dream? And what do you “see”?
