This happened several years ago, but the memory still makes me chuckle. My ex-husband and I had ferrets and decided that we wanted a dog. So we got a Kuvasz puppy because he was fond of the breed. Kuvasz (think Great Pyrenees with a perm - big white curly haired dogs) tend to get big, but she was still a puppy and only six pounds. She was fascinated by the ferrets, and the feeling was mutual. One in particular, our dark sable lady named Preen, had a special fondness for stuffed animals. So Preen decided that Winter (the dog) was just an oversized stuffed animal and would do what she did with all stuffed animals - try to remove that black button nose! We were amazed that the dog put up with it, but I think that Winter was intimidated by these strange creatures. Winter is old and sedate now, and Preen is at the bridge, but I'll never forget the one pound ferret trying to drag the six pound puppy around! Sara & her ferrets 4 [Posted in FML issue 3912]
