My Resolve Faltered....or Why the Beau is a Jerk...((PICTURE HEAVY))

[Red_Dazes]

So I swore to myself that 3 ferrets was enough. That was it. No more. None. not one more. But I made the mistake of going to the pet store closest to me.... this is a mistake because they have ferret food NEXT to the ferrets....where as the other store has it two aisles down from the ferrets....so I can duck in and out with out looking at them. So as I am walking past I can't help but OOOOHHHH and AWWWWW at the cute little babies, the store people let me cuddle one ^_^ he was so cute and nibbled on my fingers oh so gently. but my resolve is still strong. Until the Beau says.

"Well your birthday is coming up... if you really want."

And my heart died.

So.... He is a little over a month old...and has not yet been named. I'm thinking Watson or Winston.....but I just can't decide. Last night he curled up on my lap and just crashed there while I read a book for a few hours. ^_^ eeeee.

How adorable!!!!!!!!!

Awwwwwww! I vote Winston, between the two..

[Amina516]

Aww!

Cuties!

I also vote Winston.

And I love when my hubby is a jerk like that...

[BookstoreEscapee]

I wish someone would be a jerk like that to me

[Red_Dazes]

Well I think Winston is going to stick. ^_^ I'll have to give the Beau one last say in the matter tonight, but I was calling him Winston today while we played and it seems to fit him well ^_^

[Exaspera]

OoooooH So cuuuuuuuuuute! How does he get along with the others?

I vote to name him Pookie!

Hehe that would be really cute. ^_^

He gets on very well with everyone so far. They are all being really lenient with him because he is a baby, it's very cute to watch. Kodo just follows him around and licks at his face ^_^ and even Artemis thinks he is grand. I'm so impressed with how gentle she has been playing with him.

OMG OMG OMG *melts into a puddle of girly cute goo* I want one so bad. I've always wanted a ferret. He's adorable and I agree that the name Winston is perfect for him I also agree that I wish someone would be a jerk to me like that ^.^

[Red_Dazes]

I really like the name Winston... but I have decided on Dr. Watson instead. The reasoning is that Winston is just awkward for me to say for some reason... after using it all day I just feel like it takes too long to say But Watson I can call him Wat.... ^_^ And that is just so cute. ((plus I can say to him "Come here My Dear Watson" which is squee worthy to me))

*LOUD SQUEALS*

ZOMGhe's just SOOOOO adorable!!!

I want one...

You do know of course, that you will now have to go a get a "Holmes" to go with your "Watson"

(Yes I know you were referring to the other Watson, but I just had to say it)

He is gorgeous though!!! We had ferrets when I was a kid, but they were used for rabbiting, not as pets. I would get one or two now, but our dog likes to chase small animals, so it would not be a good thing

^_^ You are welcome to come cuddle mine any time you want! ^_^ they always love to make new friends.

Actually it is the correct Watson you name. Originally we were going to call him Aurthur Conan Doyle, thus giving us free reign to call him anything from Holmes to Moriarty. But I think Watson's personality fits him a bit better than the others... but yes... in the future ((but not the near future)) I will seek to acquire a Holmes AND a Moriarty... .after all Watson just isn't complete with out all of them.

...I am a Sherlock Holmes nerd... I loves it.

[CaroPhoenix]

I like the ferrets. They are so cute! And I prefer Watson over Winston.

And I don't think you can out-Sherlock-Holmes-Nerd either me or Mr. Rum as Child Rum's middle name is the same as the the only woman to ever outwit Sherlock Holmes.

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock FTW!

I thought of you the other day when Mr Jedi and I went to PetSmart to buy dog food. One of the shelters was visiting for an adoption day and they had a ferret available for adoption. He was pretty cute.
