Ferret

I recently logged into a shared worksheet and I saw it had assigned random animals to each user. I was assigned the ferret. Many, including yours truly found it highly amusing ...yes I had been assigned 'rodent' and not something 'majestic'. Out of curiousity, I did a search on 'ferrets'...and found some cute pics ....as well as something that struck me to the core...''twas very much on point with me as a person!
