HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!

Have any of you heard the story of St. Valentine? If not, here it is! Enjoy it.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings.
Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!
Did I mention that I was a priest? One of my favourite activities was to marry couples. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, I kept on performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom and myself. We would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of soldiers.
One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped in time. I was caught. (Not quite as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.
I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.
One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit me in the cell. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. She agreed that I did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, "Love from your Valentine."
I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day. It was written on the day I died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because they know that love can't be beaten!

I hope you enjoyed that! I thought it was quite entertaining. Have a great Valentines Day, and make sure to check out my new blog at http://ferrets-forever.blogspot.com/.

Bella

Hey you all! I don't know if all of you heard about Isabella.
She is my little 3 month old ferret. I just adopted her January 17th!
Here is some info about my baby:

Full Name: Isabella
Nickname: Bella
Birthday: October 19th 2008
Adopted Date: January 17th 2008
Size: VERY small. Probably not even 8 oz!
Fave toy: Stuffed animals(she thinks its another ferret)

And.... drum roll please.

--THE BABY HERSELF--

By the way... for those reading my blog that are thinking about getting a ferret-
PLEASE do your reading about this expensive pet. Ferrets are a lot more than hamsters! They are sort of a mix of cat and dog in personality. Bella cost about $130. Then they need annual check-ups and rabies and distemper shots. Also, they need AT LEAST 2 hours of human interaction every day. So, they are more work and money
than what most people think. So please read up on them and their care before you purchase one. Because there are already too many in the shelters these days that don't have any homes. It's so sad...

All About Ferrets

Here is a little overview of ferrets that I wrote:


Ferrets as Pets

By Audrey

Ferrets make wonderful pets. They are fun, loving, playful, and just plain silly.
Here are the basics:

--Ferret ARE NOT rodents. They come from the family mustelid (like otters, weasels, polecats,
stoats, black-footed ferrets, martens, badgers, and wolverines)
--Ferret cost about $120. They need annually shots and vaccinations just like cats
--They rely on human compassion. Without interaction 2 or 3 hours a day, ferrets will become depressed.
--They are very mischievous. They get into stuff all the time. They like to take things and "steal" them (if your keys are missing,
you know who took them. =) )
--They can be litter box trained like a cat. Most ones at pet shops don't come trained, but they catch on very quickly
--A ferret should not bite, unless it has been previously been abused.

Altogether, ferrets make wonderful pets. They are loving, compassionate, and just plain silly. They love to make their owners laugh.
