Tina...Come Get Some Dinner!

Not Tina, the llama from good ole Napoleon Dynamite, rather it's our ferret, Tina.

I took Tina on a very quick lunch excursion today. She travelled with me to see Brenda Brittain's classroom at Mountain View Elementary School. Today was their last full day, and so the two of us were the special guests for the day.

The kids were ecstatic! I'm not sure if they knew I was coming. Many of the kids had never seen a ferret before, but there was more excitement than apprehension. Everybody sat down in a tight circle and we let Tina run around a bit. It was hilarious to hear everyone giglgle as she took her first few hops. All the kids got a turn to pet her, and many got a chance to hold her. She only escaped the circle once, and made her way into a corner behind some books, but she was quickly retrieved and placed back into her new circle of friends.

Our time was very short, but just enough time to answer some great questions about Tina from the kids. We also talked about ferrets in general, and how Tina was a special ferret, because she was adopted into our family a couple of years ago. She is a splendid pet, and she sure showed how wonderful she is today.

Thanks, Mrs. Brittain and her class...you helped make my day!
