I just wanted to reply to the lady who asked about boating ferrets.  I've
been on this list just under a yr. (as long as I've had a ferret) and
recall a series of articles here about a woman going round the coast or
hemisphere or something with ferrets on a boat.  Is this in the archives??
 
**************
Nicknames:
Our ferret who's name is "Weasel" is called (yet never responds to) the
following:  Weaselbuddy    Weezy    Dweasel    Craisinhead  and
Sh*tboy. (well, I'm sorry, but he just poops so often and so big that we
affectionately refer to him as a little sh*tmachine on feet!)
 
I also call him those 'generic' "carpetshark" nicks when I'm referring to
him in front of visitors....
 
As for dogs never getting a moniker... my dog Sadie was called by five
names that I can recall and my husband insisted on calling her "stupid",
and honest, she answered to all of them!

following.  You can search the archives for "sailing" or ask for the
back-issues.  BIG]
