I wish I had some clever advice for you; but the truth is that the score here is: ferrets-2 , couches-0. I now have a This End UP/Cargo type couch with the cushions recovered in naugahyde. It seemed easier to change my tastes in furniture than to train the ferts out of their natural inclination to dig and burrow. Carol [Posted in FML issue 3339]
