Rascal (1 lb white ball of mischief and chaos) LOVES to dig (among other bad
habits!). I used a spray bottle to squirt her for a while. Here is the
usual scenario...
<Rascal> Look at Dad (two black eyes in a sea of white) then commence
digging -- you may select a target from the following list ... house plants,
carpet, clean towels , couch cushions, couch pillows, first shelf of Dad's
bookshelf of paperbacks, magazine rack, etc. Stop. Look at Dad again, then
commence digging.
<Dad> "Rascal, stop digging" SQUIRT
<Rascal> War dances, licks water off of fur (usually at the same time ...
pretty funny sight!) and looks at Dad as if to say "Some people have a lot
of nerve!"
Repeat this procedure 3-4 more times and she MIGHT get the idea that I don't
want her to dig (at least for the moment). It does guarantee one thing
though ... that I will have one VERY WET ferret!

Bandit: "Hey guys, this cat food is pretty tasty!" [munch, munch, munch]
Slinky: "Quit tickling my tummy, Dad!"
Rascal: [sputter, sputter, sputter] "OK, Dad's onto that little bit of
mischief. What can I do now? Wait! I see a cup of water on the coffee
table! hehehe..."
