Ferrety

Many of you may know that I just love ferrets. Even though they can be a little stinky, they certainly make up for it in intelligence and the ability to make me laugh.

My own beloved, Punky, passed away several years ago and since then I've been wanting ferret love. Because California stubbornly resists allowing ferrets into the state, I've been getting my ferret fix through the National Zoo ferret cam.

Lately, the ferret on the webcam, Georgia, had a little baby ferret, aka a kit. And I've been watching it grow and it has finally grown out of the "wormy" phase and has actually started getting its markings. Take a look.
