Let's see, everyone who moved the couch last time you cleaned your house, raise your hands! How about that big ole recliner daddy likes to fall asleep in?? If you raised your hand, your probably a very anal person and don't need to be a part of this discussion. Next question, where is one of the first places your fuzzies run to when they get let out? Maybe under the couch, or the drapes, or some other piece of furniture that hasn't been moved in a long time. Am I right or what. Hears the news folks and listen up close! Ferrets have oil in their coats, and some more than others. Nevertheless...dust clings to the oil everytime they go under something that is full of dust. When they settle down from being hyper and want a treat of some snugglies, you just wuv'em and wuv'em and rub them all over your face and .....aaaah-choooooo!! .......Several sneezing episodes later, your Dr. who is STILL PRACTICING medicine, says you're allergic to ferrets, a creature that he probably couldn't tell you the sex of if it peed on him. Ferret lovers beware, human DRs. are just as dangerous to your fuzzies as a vet who doesn't know ferrets. Stay tuned to Ferret Allergies 102... Later, Ferretguy [Posted in FML issue 3360]
