@Sunwolf,
Fur-snakes.
We used to call our ferrets carpet sharks.
lol Lyrra used to give me kisses all the time. She'd be running around on the floor, and then next thing i knew, i had a ferret crawling up my leg, then up my torso. I'd look down and pucker my lips, then reach up and lick em, then scurry back down to the floor to play. So cute, I don't care if people detest rodents, I think they're adorable. ^_^
And speaking of nicknames we give to our pets with names already, I always call my cat phantom Daddy's Little Girl because she's the first cat I've ever owned that will come to me when she's called, like a dog will. Thing is, she's rather preferential to me, because, being a big guy, I've always had an affinity for tiny lil animals, and she was the runt of the litter. From the moment she came to live here, I've always picked her up and given her a thorough rubbing; now, everytmie I walk in the door and sit down, she's right in my lap expecting to be rubbed. Even when it's her coming in the house from outside, she has to come say hi and get a good rubbing from daddy.
Elmer, we call him Fatty, because he weighed 11 lbs at the age of 6 months. Most DST's peak around 10lbs as adults. He's thick, and I sometimes refer to him as our little lion man. When he's got his front paws perched higher than his rear pawns, I imagine seeing him on Proud Rock, watching over his lands.
The ferrets... we used to call all of 3 of them carpetmunchers, lol.. They love to dig into the corners of carpeted rooms and try burrowing into the floor to no avail. Didn't stop them from trying over and over and over again though, lol. It looked like they were eating the carpet when they were trying to burrow, and the scraps of carpet left behind made it look like they'd just had a feast, so we called them carpet munchers.
