Ok, you know you're addicted to the FML when you start replying to more than
2 posts in your letters!  :)
 
First item of business...I was reading Chuck's post about American Airlines
and how he paid $160 for his ferret to ride in the cabin.  This is really
odd, I was a ticket agent for American Airlines up until this past May (used
to work reservations as well) and we never charged over $50 for a pet to
ride in the main cabin, whether it was a cat, dog, or ferret.  I think
that's really odd, dishonesty in the airlines is so discomforting.
 
I think I missed a lot of this 'water in the ear' thread, but from what I
get from the guy who posted it, he is just squirting them with squirt bottle
like you would a cat (?) I also use this method of punishment, I don't aim
at the head at all though, just squirt them from a distance.  My male is
deaf so yelling at him or whatever doesn't help one bit, and I believe my
female is deaf too.  They came from the same parents and every kit from this
litter was a badger, except for my female who's head and neck is totally
white.  But I think they all suffer from that Watterbourough (whatever
spelling :) ) syndrome.  At any rate, squirting them with the bottle works,
they hate being wet.  They stop whatever they are doing and go do something
else.  I also squirt them when they are digging at the carpet.  I would
definetly suggest if you use this message not to aim at the head, though.
 
As for the beanie babies...there is another brand of beanie baby that has a
ferret one for around $5 I think, the address is

navigate your way to order it.
