Jet, I've met a ferret and was enthralled! He was such a funny little character. He skittered all over the floor -- and backwards! -- and had a goofy little nose that never stopped sniffing. Just the word "ferret" makes me grin.
My older brother, when he was 12 and I was 10, had some garter snakes in a terrarium. One day, we released the snakes into our sister's bed (she was 18 that summer and an
insufferable princess 
). Oh, God -- the sound of her screams -- it was ecstasy to our ears
So grateful for animal antics, affection, wisdom, presence!
...and moments of sheer naughtiness and joy experienced with my siblings. Remembering these delightful moments helps to balance my perspective...
