>From: Lisa Ferret mom <[log in to unmask]> > >Have any of you tried to introduce a beagle into you home?... hey...:) off the top of my head...i believe we [ex-husband and i] had the Beagle first... Buddy would tree anything in the woods...we lived near the country [edge of town in N.C.] and had woods and a lake behind us to take walks in...Beagles being hunting dogs by nature...it worried me to have him near the ferrets... they look like the squirrels in the yard... right?..;-) anyway...we watched them like a hawk when the dogs were in the house..and the ferrets [only 2-3 at the time] were out... well..[here is the funny part]...it got to the point that the dogs [our other dog, Obi, was a husky mix] would look thru the kitchen/garage door [glass...they were not super-dogs!] and if the ferrets were out...they just would not come in the house!!!... yeah...that was the 'big bad hunter dog'!!! [not that i like hunting...i hate it...but i wanted Buddy for Buddy....] well...i have no idea how he would handle it now...having 17 free roam ferrets...Buddy would prolly up and run away from home...luckily..he stayed with the ex...;-) not a lot of help...sorry...:) kat ===== KITY=^..^=KAT and the Fuzzy Frenzy [17] http://www.geocities.com/ferretlover97 Missing my own...Rascal, LWG, Narmy, OldGuy, Pye, Sandi, Jack...and the biggest pieces of my heart...Sonny & Charlie...
