Hey everyone, Joined the FML very recently (the day after I found out it existed actually, held up because of technical issues), and I thought I would share with you what my very first little guy has shared with me. Little background: My roommates brought in a ferret named Stinky about two months ago. He started off being extreamly unfun. Well, unfun for us, though he seemed to rather enjoy trying to take our fingers and toes off. (I.e. When he bit, he bit hard. When you yelled 'Owch!', he bit *harder*.) Despite his love for making us suffer, I took to him. Played with him, gave him treats for good behavior... as a result, I now get kisses almost every time I pick him up, and he prefers to sleep under my bed if given a choice. I went to the pet store the other day (note that when I go to a pet store, it's not just any pet store, it's the best one that I've found in the 20mile area from Lansing, MI) and was looking at ferrets. After talking with them, I had decided it was possable (both mentally and monitarily) for me to take the leap and get a furbutt myself. That was a week ago. When I brought him home, I had a friend of mine sit with him in my room while one roommate and I constucted his cage. He was wardancing on my bed when he saw the cage being brought in. We put him in and he went to bed. When he woke up he ate, drank, and then did nothing but try to convince me to let him out. After about ten minutes, I gave in to his demands. He climbed out and started wardancing again, then ran under the bed. Woops! Next thing I see is the roommates kitten flying out from under the bed and straight into the bedroom door, with Chance hopping right behind her, looking pleased as punch. This continued for a while (Chance chasing Shadow), until he got bored. But then... Shadow came looking for him! Jacob Mather p.s. Thought I would mention: Chance - Ferret - 13 weeks old - My first Stinky - Ferret - about 4 years old - My roommates Shadow - Kitten - 8 months old [Posted in FML issue 4221]
