George & Rusty Ferrets from OZ Hello, I haven t written in for a very long time and felt it was overdue. My partner and I live in Adelaide, Australia and we are owned by two adorable little ferrets. They are a constant joy to us, even if George is a little terror. We recently did some renovations and left a small hole in the wall when we pulled off some skirting board. I turned by back for a second and George had enlarged the hole and disappeared into the wall! I had to coax him out with a treat. The hole is now covered, but he keeps checking. He s just too smart for his own good. George is also our cuddle ferret. He likes nothing more after a hard days mischief than curling up on the couch with his mommy. He crawls onto my lap, gives a huge sigh for how misunderstood he is and goes to sleep while I stroke his back. If I stop stroking he opens his eyes and looks at me as if to say Who said you could stop? Rusty is my little sweetie. He never nips; he never poops where he shouldn t. He manages to turn the CUTE to IRRESISTIBLE when he begs for a treat. He looks up at me and puts his little paw on my knee and I can almost hear him say Please Sir can I have some more? He loves to be picked up, but then licks my finger and wants straight back down lol. I would like to hear from any other Aussie ferret parents. Erin [Posted in FML issue 4561]
