Carrot Got Your Ring?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in News on Wednesday, January 04, 2012

Isn’t that incredible?

Obviously not for everyone, but I thought it was pretty cute.

The Weird and the Wild

When my oldest son was visiting at Easter, he and one of my daughters shared some fond memories of a pet ferret we once had (whose untimely demise I did not mourn), and unbeknownst to me, offered to pay for another one should said daughter ever wish for it.
