I have to agree with everyone who told this young lady to keep the ferret and dump the guy. The man should accept the ladies way of life and respect her love for animals and her pet. What happens if this guy decides she can never have another pet again because HE doesn't like the way it smells. Would he do the same for a dog?cat?Guinea pig? or others who have their own distinctive odors??????? Perhaps this guy may not like the smell of diapers either,what then??? Get rid of the child???? This is the sign of a person whio likes to dictate the way that somebody wants to live their life and it's time to run away from it before it becomes too late for her. I would never,never,never give up my babies because some guy doesn't like the way they smell and further more I have a man who would never ask me to do so!!!!! Dump the guy!!!! [Moderator's note: Kris responded yesterday with additional information about the situation. Whatever our beliefs on the issue, it's time to take it off-list. The ferret has a new home and Kris has a husband. And let's say they all lived happily ever after and end the thread please! BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3377]
