I remember years ago I joked on the FML about having to install a babbling brook in my living room for the ferrets to get their nice fresh water from--well, years later I've got one of those recirculating Drinkwell pet fountains in the dining room, so I guess it's no joke any more! :-) The ferrets do like the water fountain quite a bit, though I had to build a small platform I could clamp it down to, otherwise I'm sure they would have electrocuted themselves by pulling the fountain around and sloshing the water all over the cord :-/ "Dook" is pronounced "brk." That's all I've ever heard my ferrets say, I have never known how the rest of the world hears their sound as anything like doc or duke or duck or whathaveyou. Brk it is! :-) Regina Regina Harrison [log in to unmask] http://users.rcn.com/badriya/ blog: http://badriya-z.blogspot.com/ "Is that my business? Well, what is my business? Do I know?
