Well, okay...but ferrets aren't delicious and covered in chocolate!
(Well...mine never have been...though there WAS that incident when we
toured Willy Wonka's factory, and Tucker mistook an Oompa-Loompa for
an N-Bone...n/m. Forget I said anything!!! (Litigation still is
pending...IF they can find us!)

 ...My husband's favorite "thing" to do with Pixie is to flip her over
and gnaw on her belly -- which she LOVES. So he might argue wither way
on this one.

Well, Tuckaboy sorta looks rat-ish, I suppose, if you discount his tail
not being bald...and he has those cute little teddy-bear ears. And his
face isn't shaped like a rat's...and he has that arch in his back...but
other than that, he looks EXACTLY like sort of a
weaselly-rat-sorta-critter-thing.

Skunks? Well, jeez, ma'am -- aren't you familiar with Southwestern
Sable Skunks? You find them all over the place -- pet shops and shows
and stuff. They have long, slender bodies that arch, and cute little
beady-ish eyes; adorable little teddy-bear ears; long, pointy-ish
muzzles that are bewhiskered; and many of them make a distinctinve
"doook" sort of noise when they're happy or excited. (Huh? WHAT?
Those are FERRETS?? What the -?!?!)

Muskrats? Next!

Dogs. Dogs. Hmmmmm.....ok...ok...since a lot of breed of dogs are
pretty "ratty" in my opinion (such as chihuahuas)(my apologies to any
Mexican rat-dog lovers in the audience), I guess I can understand the
confusion.

Weasels? MINKS? You got me on that one. Ferts resemble neither one,
not a bit. PFFFT. Ferrets really look a lot more like the Southwestern
Sable Skunk, I'm tellin' ya... Go Google it fer gossake! Look it up,
since you don't believe me!

lovers...)
