We have been fuzzie luvers for just over a year..  Started with one.
Holding at four..  Would like to get more, but space in the house, and other
pets are a concideration.  All our fuzzies are female.  Meko, the first was
a gift for our daughter Tina when she passed her test for Black Belt in
Yoshukai Karate.  John (my husband) thought she needed a companion, and we
got Sweek, she was extreamly attatched to me, and John said everyone in the
house has a ferret but him, thus the acquisition of Hiss.  My neighbor
developed allergies to his ferret, and we adopted Homer.  Hiss is a little
terror, she bites, not nips John on the arm..  He will be holding her and
she will start licking his arm, by the elbow, nip, lick some more, then
bite..  John will correct (thump on nose, or shake by the scruff of the
neck) then she will bite a bit harder.  She sometimes latches on his arm,
and shakes her head while she is biting.  She will draw blook.  Once John
and to put her head under cold running water to make her let go..  She is
lovely other wise..  She will play with the her sisters, and us.  We have a
plastic sweekie spider that when sweeked Hiss will attack what ever is
moving in the room..  Most of the time it is our 95 pound Rotweiler (Ed
Earl).  The first time it happened.  She jumped on his leg, and proceeded to
bite him..  He got up and attempted to get away from her, and she bit him on
his privets.  He yelped and hid behind me.  Hiss then jumped on his butt and
hung on..  Ed Earl will now look for the ferrets when he sees or hears the
spider..  Hiss goes absolutely crazy when the spider is squeeked, she will
climb up John's leg to get to it.  If Ed Earl is not around to be attacked,
Hiss will jump on Sweek and pull her around by the neck.  My name is Janelle
