>showing that you don't see the animal as a animal anymore, but as a >small human. Yeah, my ferrets are my small humans. You see, I never plan on having human children, so my ferrets are my children. And they get treated better than some human children I know of, so I don't see the harm in viewing your ferrets as little humans. After all, each and every one of them has their own little personality, don't they? ~Tammy - a.k.a. Kesrael "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wonder are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." "May it be you journey on To light the day; When the night is overcome You may rise to find the sun" [Posted in FML issue 5169]
