I have appreciated all the advice you have given me ( in case anyone forgot
I am a 1 year old Border Collie doomed to live with scampering ferrets).
Most of your advice has centered on taking the ferrets food or kindly
picking on them.....  here is my dilemma.  I have to be a good dog....it
apparently is my job.  The ferrets job is to break every house rule....
while Mommy and Daddy LAUGH!!!!!!  "OOOOHHH honey...look at Slate climbing
into the refridgerator!!", Mom giggles to Daddy.  DO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN IF I CLIMBED INTO THE REFRIDGERATOR!!!!!!!!!  I garuntee you no
giggles would be involved.  Mandy the Cocker Spaniel wondered what all those
"dook dook" noises meant.....I know what they mean...they mean "Ha Ha dumb
dog...we can do what ever we want!!" And they are right.  Mommy rebuilt the
dang couch for THEM and if I even THINK about getting up on it I am a
"BAAAAAAD DOOOOOG".  What's up with that?  Don't even get me started on the
double standard about pooping in the house!!  Anyway...thanx for the tips,
but I'm stuck having to be good.  Maybe in another life I'll be a ferret and
I'll get to do whatever I want plus receive free room and board.  Well I
better go....they are chewing my tail.....  I'm sure Mommy and Daddy are
thinking its "cute".
                                I'm not.
