Ferrets!

Today, at the Pet Store, the granddaughters stood in front of the cage that held two baby ferrets and ooo'd and ahaaaaa'd till the store clerk came over.
The cage door was opened and in no time there were ferrets in the arms of delighted children.

The clerk explained to us that the babys were too young to pose a danger to the kids and that the store encouraged handeling of the animals to get them used to having people around and holding them. We had a great time.
