Wow, what a wonderful collaborative effort with the responses about calling a deaf ferret. Some of you covered some things I would not have thought to. I love this list. Renee, thank you for copying and sending this to me. And I'm so glad that others came forward with ideas and advice. It was all excellent. I haven't much to add really. Renee said what I was going to say for the most part. So I'll post my site http://www.wolfysluv.com/deaf.html Search it out. If you like, join the deaf ferrets list to go through files and articles about deaf ferrets. You do not have to be part of the "list" per say and can opt for no emails, and such, but have total access to the site. Jacci, I'll write you tomorrow about this subject.
