Oh my gosh, how my stomach turned on this one. Forget the puppy and the kit. Why is there so much energy and upset directed at two baby animals who are just as innocent and angelic as the human baby??? What is wrong with society? Forget the fact that two parents, slept through a sweet babies blood curdling screams of torture all through the night. Are you frigging kidding me?? I have two children and have looked after countless children through the night. Buddy, I jump to attention at cries even if they are coming from a remote upstairs bedroom. As far as heavy sleepers, my husband used to sleep curled up next to me while the lights were on, tv was on, and while I was holding a colicky baby in bed with us! BUT, by God if he wasn't the first one to stir whenever a baby's first cries during the night. And we didn't have the aid of baby monitors at first. Lets never mind that the animals were somehow irresponsibly left to their own devices with a tiny baby. I can see one slip up such as: A pet getting to a baby, not TWO, ONE parent sleeping through cries, not TWO, and no monitor as well. I can't see mistake after mistake plus the denial of the parents by twisting the knife to be eye balling the animals and making a fuss about them. Good lord. And of course, dogs will not be less for the wear, it will be the ferrets that suffer the poor press. I have to go cool off, because it is indeed society and not just the press, police, neighbors or parents who are screwy with their conclusions ... it's all of them.
