Just a fun game I remember doing on FV. It goes like this... You know you're a ferret love when...
-You see a commerical for a dog or cat toy and instantly think of your furkid(s) and what they would think of it.. -You go shopping and search the raw meat section for goodies to bring home for your baby(ies). -You love the scent of ferrets so much you believe they should make a perfume out of it.. (which they do! LOL)
Add some!

You know youre a ferret lover when:
Something goes missing and it's not because you forgot where you put it. You're late to work because you had to find and comfortably reinsert the sole of your shoes.

Your entire room is covered in shredded paper bits from their last dig-box escapades, despite you having vacuumed it an hour ago. The bits are not only all over your room - your carpet, other pet's cages , static-ed to your blankets and pillows, in your books, in your clothes and shoes - but has also somehow managed to find it's way throughout yourentire apartment. You take pictures of every poop that leaves the rear end of your royal subjects, and then proceed to examine them thoroughly via dissection. You stay up past the wee hours of the morning, despite a big test coming up, anxiously watching and listening and jumping up to check on every movement out of fear that they might have (insert health issue...blockage, etc). You spend more hours researching ferrets on the internet than you do studying your homework.

You know you're a ferret lover when...
...you associate your toes being bitten with love.
...you hear snapping bones, and are proud.
...you have a fuzz in your arms right now.

You know you're a ferret lover when you find those "oopsies" on the floor, and while cleaning it up think to yourself "at least it's a good one!" Or when you find meat stashed in your pillow case

...You have a bank account just to save up for unexpected vet bills. ...Your husband says they eat better than he does, after shopping for their weekly meat. ...Your late for work because you can't find your car keys. ...After they have been very naughty you still tell them you love them.

....when your two year old looks at a bunny in the store and yells look mommy a bunny-ferret! (every small critter is a _____-ferret) ....when your 11 year old can discuss the benifits of a RAW/Whole prey diet ....when you go to the meat department and know which companies "enhance" the meats with broth and other stuffs

~When your ferret poops all over your bed and you have the biggest smile because it's normal! ~ When you have so may scratches all over your wrist/arm that your highschool teacher accuses you of cutting ~When you have gone on a 3 hour adventure to find their grain-free food-at night after getting up at 7 and working all day ~When you decide which all-meat canned foods your cats get based on what you can get the fuzz to eat some of ~When you have no room on speed dial for friends because it's totally full-of vets ~When the vet sees you coming and tries to run (or mutters under his breath) ~Whe you've once tried to lunge over the examining table because you TOLD them not to do that and they didn't listen and now your baby's screaming (she hasn't been to that one since) ~When you've passed up vacation on the Cayman Islands becayse the fuzzbutt doesn't feel well ~When you're likely about to get a modeling contract in New York-but only if they let you live in New Jersey because the ferret would be illegal in NY Yes lol Keawea does run my life-and dang proud

They're only illegal in New York City right? Couldn't you live outside the city and be OK?

so many!
you know you're a ferret lover when you will open and close the dishwasher and the washer/dryer 12 times to make sure that they aren't in there before you turn them on
you stick your nose up to their mouths when they yawn (or you force them to yawn by rubbing their ears) because you NEED to smell their breath to make sure there are no weird smells (this is my worse habit my husband thinks i'm nuts)
as you pet your ferrets, you simultaneously pat them down from head to toe to check for lumps.
Your christmas tree looks awful --like it has been in a tornado.
You walk looking down and shuffling your feet (and you expect everyone else to)
Your ferret has a thousand nicknames.
your ferret eats better than you do.
you find chunks of meat in your bathtub, your shoes and behind the t.v.
if someone insults your ferrets (comments like "ewww they stink!" "omg you have a rodent?" "isnt that a possum?" "how disgusting!" -- i hate these people) you NEVER invite them over again and/or you just stop speaking to them altogether.

You check your shoes for stashed meat/toys.
You triple check your backpack before leaving for class.
You have to play a few rounds of ferret-bowling (sliding them backwards on the hardwood) every time you need to open a door they aren't allowed through.
Every cardboard box that enters the house has greasy meat spots within an hour of being opened.
You can almost always identify which fert is coming by the sound of their "shuffle-shuffle-pause-shuffle" over the hard floors.

When people at work want favors from you they try to bribe you with gifts for your ferrets and they make sure they know all your ferrets names for the same reason!

You sleep like a pretzel in bed because he just has to sleep in the middle.
