[spacecadet71]

I got an Email from Marshall Farms today wishing Diva a happy b-day. Otherwise I would have forgotten. Not used to having one from the pet store that has a birth certificate. LOL And what better way to celebrate than with a bunch of pictures from her first year? Enjoy!!

This is the day I brought her home


First nail trim


Playing


First outing


Snuggling with brother Boone


Climbing up the Mama


Playing in a ladder


Getting a drink with brothers Zoboo and Loki



Happy Birthday Diva-licious!!! Looking forward to spending many more with you!

(Max, a Sable ferret with his hind legs in a wheelchair, dances in from Stage Left. He has a huge cannon barrel tied to his back, and he’s dancing effortlessly around the stage. He begins to sing.)

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?

(Heads off Stage Right and immediately comes back on dressed as a cowboy with an arrow through his head. He dances over to Stage Left.)

My dad said, "Be an actor, my son,
But be a comical one."

(Makes goofy faces and disappears Stage Left. Immediately comes on again dragging a cage with a dead parrot in it.)

They'll be standin' in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines.

(Dances around stage while Skippy walks by eating a banananana and dropping the peel.)
Or you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite,
And you charm the critics and have nothin' to eat.
Just slip on a banana peel, the world's at your feet.

(Expertly dodges banananana peel and heads for Stage Left.)

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh. (Slips on second banananana peel.) Make 'em LAAAAAAUGH!

(Max skids past Murphy, who comes on Stage Left, dressed as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Murphy continues the song.)

Make 'em – Argh! Stupid heels! - Make 'em laugh.
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?

(Stumbles off Stage Right and immediately comes back on as the Centauri ambassador, with all six of them out and waving around. Yes, it’s a Centauran flasher, folks! Where’s the Vice Squad when you need ‘em?)

My grandpa said, "Go out and tell 'em a joke,
But give it plenty of hoke."

(Dances off Stage Left, but comes right back covered in blue paint and wearing a white pair of pants and a dumb cap. Continues singing in a high squeaky voice.)

Make 'em roar. Make 'em scream.
Take a fall, butt a wall, split a seam.

(Murphy takes a bow, there’s a tremendous rip, and, face red, he backs off Stage Left, to be passed by Sammy, who dances at Center Stage and takes over the singing.)

You start off by pretending you're a dancer with grace. (Falls down.)
You wiggle 'till they're gigglin' all over the place.

(Skippy, with a pie pan and a wicked grin, comes up to Sammy.)

And then you get a great big custard pie in the face.

(Skippy rares back with his pie, but Sammy pulls a custard pie from out of nowhere and catches Skippy full in the face with it.)
Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.

(Skippy, Skippy, Skippy, Skippy and Skippy push the vintage Civil War cannon on stage and line her up during the instrumental interlude. Skippy pulls the lanyard.)

*BOOOOOOMMM!!*

*WHOOOOOOOOSSSHHH!!!*

(Charge soars to altitude and explodes, showering AFP with confetti, noisemakers, balloons,
streamers and M&M (Plain, Peanut, Ferretone, Wow Wow Sauce, Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, Vegemite and all the popular flavors). A banner floats down beneath parachutes: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIVA Murphy, Sammy and the Skippys start dancing. A group of Skippys bring in a table with several pies and set it down. Skippy, still with some custard on his face, picks up a pie and goes over to Sammy.)

Sammy:
Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.
Don't you (Sammy gets a pie in the face. He pulls the plate off and digs out eyeholes. He then walks over, picks up a pie and tosses it at Skippy, who ducks.)

Murphy: all the (Murphy gets a pie in the face. He walks over to table, glares at Sammy, picks up another pie and pushes it in Sammy’s face.)

Max: My dad (From out of nowhere, a pie hits him in the face.)

(A chorus, consisting of Skippy, Skippy, Skippy and Skippy, sing the next lines.)

They'll be standin' in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines.

(Four pies come flying through the air, one at a time, and smack each Skippy in the face in rapid succession. Quite nicely choreographed, really.)

(Max, with a pie in his paw, gets ready for the pitch, but is smacked with a pie. He wipes his face off, winds up again, but gets a second pie. He wipes his face again, and as he gets ready to throw a second time, he suddenly slams his pie in his own face. Wiping it off, he points and says, “Ha! Beat ya to it!” then sticks out his tongue. At which point a pie smacks him in the face.)

(Murphy comes up to Skippy with a pie. Skippy covers his face with his paws and squats down. Murphy squats down, too, and taps Skippy on the shoulder. Skippy uncovers his face and Murphy hits him with his pie.)

(There are several pies flying all over the place, and the ferrets begin slipping and falling in the carnage. Finally, covered with pie stuff, the ferrets gather together and sing.)

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.
Make 'em laugh.

(A fat creature, with what looks like a TV screen in its tummy and an antenna on its head, waddles in and says in a cutesy-poo voice: “Tubbytustard?”)

(Murphy, Sammy, Max and the Skippys look at one another in horror.)

Murphy: “Stop it before it breeds!” (The ferrets chase the creature, who is now using language never heard on any children’s program, off Stage Left. Skippy, Skippy and Skippy stop just before they leave the stage and sing one last line.)

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.

(Skippy, Skippy and Skippy resume the chase.)

Hope your birthday is terrific!

Paul, who could use a good laugh right now

"Make 'em Laugh", music by Nacio Herb Brown; lyrics by Arthur Freed

Six ferrets come dancing in covered in icing and cake, line up, and begin to sing.

Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday dear Diva.
All the treats are for you.

All six go dancing off and bouncing into walls and things. One large sable fella turns and waves with a big ferret grin. He dooks, and many more.

*Applause* to the performing ferrets. Paul...that's a perfect song for a ferret. Mine make me smile and laugh every day!

Diva got to celebrate her birthday with a 10 minute romp on the sun porch. Nothing better to a ferret than getting to go in the "forbidden zone"!! :-)

Happy Birthday!
Registering those Marshall's birth certificates comes in handy.
