The only wild ferret in the world is the Black footed ferret, and they were close to extinction a few years back.  ferrets have been domesticated since Egyptian times, so this is pretty cool article. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/08/070809-ferrets.html picture included in link.

Well, The east coast is having a heat wave, which means pets are not allowed to be shipped. Therefore we did not get our new pets last weekend like we were expecting too, much to our disappointment. we have to wait for it to cool down some i guess. on another note, i had my first lobster ever last night. it was pretty good, but im not crazy about it or anything. not sure what all the hype is about.

so last weekend we got everything ready for the ferrets arrival on saturday. ive got a few pictures up on flickr, and you can see them all here they have a hammock, a sleeping sack, a sleeping bed, a little igloo and some toys inside.
