Greetings all FML'ers and Fellow Ferret Enthusiasts alike! The webmistress for the Extreme Weezils ... http://www.extremeweezils.com/ ... has been somewhat down for the count the latter part of the summer due to relapsing serious illness and family visitations [either having nothing to do with the other! :) ] Hopefully I'm on my way to wellsville and will be bringing all of you the high-quality high- volume ferret material that you have come to expect from the Extreme Weezils over the past couple of years! Question : What does someone do when there is already too much on her plate and she is needing a healing, calm environment to heal? Answer : If it's me, then the answer is GET A PUPPY! Woo- HOO! That makes a lot of sense, yes? Since when do ferret owners do things that make sense, anyway? ;) I know I'm opening myself up for some serious heartbreak and horror, BUT ... if anyone out there has experience with German Shepherd Puppies and ferrets cohabitating in domestic bliss, or otherwise, I'd appreciate hearing about it! Over the years I've read some pretty traumatic and sad things dealing with dogs accidentally hurting or even killing ferrets, even if the resident human "knew" that wouldn't happen. This is my concern and any and all help that you all could offer by way of KNOWLEDGE would be much appreciated! On the lighter side, our ferret Blizzard immediately decided that Saxon [our seven week old German Shepherd Puppy] makes a GREAT horse! Blizzard grabs on Saxon's back any way he can and ride 'em dooker! I am doing my best to catch that on film. We are still at the stage where it takes TWO of us to watch the ferrets with Saxon when they are out and about in the house. If all goes well, I am hoping they will all be one big happy family relatively soon. German Shepherds are great with "herding their flock" - in our case it happens to be a flock of Weezils!
