    The nifty thing about ferrets is that when they fall asleep, they sleep so hard that you can rearrange them in just about any shape you want. Silly, furry, flexi-noodles.

      You just answered my question, I could not for the life of me figure out how you *make* a ferret do anything, let alone pose.

    • belphebe says:

      Sadly, I couldn’t do this with my ferrets. They didn’t sleep deeply enough and always woke up when I pick them up. Too bad, because mine were almost the same colors as these two. (I should say “were”/”are”, because the dark-colored one is gone, but my silver mitt/light-colored girl is still with me.

      • Amee says:

        Mine are light sleepers as well. But I can flop my boy as I will if I’m holding him. Any other way..no go. And my little sable girl will not put up with any of it.

    • Emmberrann says:

      I aranged a dark knee sock and a light knee sock in a heart shape, it didn’t arouse any warm fuzzy feelings in my qte-o-meter. *sigh* Somehow it’s just not the same. *heavy sigh*

  7. Gigi (the original one) says:

    That made me go: Ahhhh!

  8. Theresa says:

    Are they WET ferrets?

    • muttluver says:

      ……..I’m not sure I want to get the joke. *perplexed*

    • belphebe says:

      No, they are not wet ferrets. They just have very shiny coats that sometimes react strangely to the camera (maybe the flash?). I have similar “shiny” pictures of my dark-colored ferret.

      If they were wet, you would not see them because they would be racing around so fast trying to dry themselves off and get their scent back!

      (sneaks in and nibbles on the earsies and toesies)

    Perfect for Valentine’s Day

      Cute video! Did you know when you click play an ad for eHarmony comes up at the bottom of the screen? If I submit my profile will it match me with one of those cute prairie dogs? *starts filling out forms*

  10. muttluver says:

    Ha! I’ve never heard that song, so I don’t have an earworm!!

    *enjoys the moment before the now inevitable posting of said song*

  11. Mary (the first) says:

    For those of y’all not quite of a certain age, this is what we’re talking about, kiddo.

    • victoreia says:

      Yeah, a minute after I hit “submit” on my previous comment, I realized the voice I was hearing was Stevie Wonder, not MJ…….

  15. Mudbug says:

    Wow! I can’t believe I just sat through that entire song !
    That was soooo sweet I need a shot of insulin ! And I’m not even diabetic.
    The problem is the only excuse I can think of as to why I liked this song when it originally came out was I must have been real young ! (at least that’s the story I’m sticking to ) I feel like I just waded through a vat of honey !
    Hey at least the song was good for my diet, I won’t need anything sweet for dessert

  16. CO had a very similar photo years ago. I liked that one a little better.

  17. kecky says:

    We used to have a pair of ferrets in this color scheme!!! Their names were Sugar and Spice.

  18. baby birdie says:

    The “ivory” one is so sweet!
