Hope this gets into the Sunday issue..
 
Addendum to the introducing Easel to other ferrets business (heh heh):
 
Easel loves sleeping with other ferrets; she loves pouncing on Sloan and
thinks that chasing ferrets through dryer hose is the greatest.  It doesnt
seem to be them being around her that upsets her - it's being chased, or the
perceived threat of being chased.  Unfortunately, Noodle is the consummate
athletic hunter ferret, so i'm hoping to get her over this confidence issue.
Help!  How do i make a ferret braver?  Again, it's not just Noodle - it
seems to be any ferret in mock-fight play mode.  And, with only three legs,
Easel *does* fall and tumble more.
 
On the plus side, one of the ferret play toys is a torn plastic grocery bag
(both sides torn down so it's a flat piece of plastic).  I think of it as
the 'weasel war dancing grounds,' because every ferret who sets paw on it
instantly breaks into a dooking war dance, especially Easel.  Great fun to
watch :)
