Hi everyone, Happy 3000 Ann. Too bad I haven't been reading that long. I just wanted to let you know htat my fuzzies are doing fine, hope everyone elses is too. I have a Border Collie that is deaf but he is a very intellegent dog. He will come on a hand command(since he can't hear) and will shake, lay down. He loves to chase cars and never has bitten any children or my horses so I thought maybe he wouldn't mind the ferrets. Was I wrong.. when I bring them out on there leash, by the way that's the only time they wear a bell, or harness, the dog will follow insistenly and just watches and licks his lips. He wants to eat them. The dog loves my cats but has visions of eating the ferrets. So just thought I would share that to whom ever it may be needed. Oh, (sorry so long) but one more thing.. I know everyone has heard of them bath oil beads or ball things that you bathe with or whatever.. well one of mine stole one and popped it and tried to eat the oil stuff. He was so mad when I took his new thing away, Has anyone had this occur? Is that stuff a real threat to them? I made sure he had plenty of fresh water and he was fine, nothing unusual. ok I'm finished. Dooks to all!!!! LIL RESA [Posted in FML issue 3001]
