Ha Ha! Nibblets is as much responsibility as I can handle right now. I even start to feel guilty I'm neglecting him.

Morgan, the show ran in the spring of 2007, and it recently reran this spring. I know you can get a copy through PBS -- I have a copy (somewhere) on dvd, but I don't have tivo or dvr to put it on dvd for you or I would. I can always ask my friend if she still has it on her dvr and see if she can get me another copy sometime. If I get one, I'll let you know.

Seriously - which one are you I need to watch and put the name to the face.

haha, Kate..I don't know where in the show it is...but it's when the film crew is at the actual show -- if it helps any, there was a tall young blonde guy stewarding for me that day (writing down my comments and scores). He was also judging, and I stewarded for him as well. I have brown hair (shoulder length or so), I think I had a red apron on (maybe blue?), and was about 20 pounds heavier than I am now, but I'm there...ha!

I remember when I was judging at one point I didn't know they were filming me...I look up from my judging sheet and the ferret and there's this big crew camera in my face -- scared the crap out of me and I gasped...thank goodness that's NOT in the show...ha!

Well, we're all rooting for Nibbletts to be able to make the trip to Mexico with you, Morgan.

You should know that he's been being very good about staying healthy and getting fit. He wants to look extra-buff for the wedding.

 

He's drinking lots of water

 

Doing yoga daily..

 

 

And definitely getting some beauty rest...

[kevsgirl]

But every once in a while, he lapses, like we all do, and gets into the candy and the snacks and definitely goes over his points allowance.

 

 

Or dreams of yummy snacks that he isn't supposed to have...

 

 

If he can't go with you to Mexico, he's hopeful that his buff bod will get him into one of those ferret shows, so he can maybe bring back a medal for you

OMG! The ferret pictures never end. I can not get over the supply of crazy ferret pictures on the internet. A ferret doing upward facing ferret, laying on a cot, dressed like a tootsie roll. Wow, ferret owners rock.

And ferrets are so snuggly...how romantic! Ferret love!

Everyone loves ferrets...People and animals alike!

I know... I think it's now my personal mission to find a photo of a ferret doing Downward Ferret... might be difficult though.

Ok, so I know this is probably getting a little old, but it's still new to me, because I just read through this thread yesterday.

 

So imagine my suprise when I sit down this afternoon to go through the paper and ads and find that a Spring Ferret Frolic occurred just last week in Ottawa...

 

ignore the crappy cropping...:

 

 

I guess this pic turned out a bit small. What the caption says is:

"Ozzy the ferret spent part of last weekend looking for buried treasure in McNabb Park in Centretown as part of the Spring Ferret Frolic."

 

How cute is that? I love his little pirate hat.
