lol...each time you put up a new series of ferret pictures, it i increasingly want to go and adopt one (or 2). :grin2:

Yeah, I wish i could have pets where i live...but i guess for now i will have to be satisfied with visiting these two every once and while :)

Oh!...the watering can ones are so funny......infact I loved them all...
