Okay, how about a few more You Know You're a Ferret Owner When: - *I* get sick and what pops out of my mouth is, "I have to go to the vet." I have actually said this, on more than one occasion. <g> Yes, I am a major source of amusement for my friends. - I wash my hands *before* I use the bathroom. (Okay, I got this one from "you know you're a zookeeper when", but when cleaning cages and more ferret poop that I thought it possible for five ferrets to produce at the same time, then hauling it all out to the trash can... well, sometimes this one seems apropos. <g>) - I see a rubber band on the floor at the office and lunge for it like a lunatic to pick it up before it can be swallowed! Don't they understand how dangerous these things are??? <g> -Tasha [Posted in FML issue 3257]
