Cute Thing of the Week

xPurpleElephants sent in this photo of Ellie, her ferret, and we just HAD to post it. Come on: it's a small furry animal in a HAMMOCK! We'd like to imagine that this tiny  ball of fuzz lives in the lap of luxury, slowly swaying back and forth and occasionally drinking non-alcoholic cosmopolitans from an umbrella straw. Ah, the good life. Speaking of which, we got a glimpse of the good life last week when you guys delivered a stupendous 121 comments! We're ever so thrilled with all of you, Sparklers. Here were some of the posts that made us laugh the hardest:
