I think Dan is quite right when he says a flopping ferret (a.k.a.
speed-bump) is not sulking or pouting, but rather is "On Standby".  I
love that!  Yes, my little Rikki is as hyper as any ferret, and often
needs to go On Standby -- or better yet, Shut Down/Power Off completely
in the warmth of his cage.  Good one, Dan!  Another clever aaddition to
the Ferret Vernacular.
