I reread the reply I sent to Silly Girl. I just wanted to note that in saying "Yes, we DO mind you saying so" in reference to the comment that ferret owners can seem fanatical, I didn't really intend to speak for everyone on the board. I was speaking emotionally, and I apologize for any offense this may have caused. To rephrase: Yes, *I* do mind you saying so. Thanks!!
