Hello, all!...Does anyone have any stories about the brushing of the coats on our fuzzbutts?...Of the 5 that I currently have, one acts like I`m about to do surgery w/o an anesthesia!! As soon as those bristles 'touch' his back, ...he`s gone!!! Whoosh!!!...He could be scruffed, tied to a post, glued to the floor,......anything, it doesn`t matter, he wants no part of it!! The only thing I can think of is that when those "prickly" little hairs or fine wires touch his skin, he thinks "I`m about to be pierced by tiny teeth"!....maybe from past memories,...but I`ve had him since a kit, a gift given to me & purchased from Petco, so he was young, so possible 'memories' from a "bad" ferret person, or time in a shelter, doesn`t seem to fit. He`s 7 now, and still NO BRUSHING ALLOWED!!....his words, not mine! He always looks like a "finely brushed dude", not ruffled or tangles! PLUS, thank God, He`s not a Marshall`s product. That`s a good thing no matter what the issue! All the rest of them 'allow' it, but they don`t freak like "Tyler" does. Anyone else have "Brush-time" problems?? Dooks to all....John Rich & the n.j. gang, USA! p.s., how`s that for a Monday post, "A"?....LOL! dooks!..& Tnx! john rich <[log in to unmask]> [Posted in FML issue 5216]
