Oh, wow, does that bring back memories ... my first ferret Prissy had freeI'd put her down on the floor, another round of breathing in my face, etc., then finally a trek down to my feet, and the nipping began. By the time I finally caught the little monster, I was wide awake ... I tried all sorts of things, and she outsmarted me each time ... until I got evil, and began scooping her up and putting her in the cage each time (oh, the outrage!!!). However, she quickly figured it out, and after a few "time outs" she never bothered me again ... [Posted in FML 5807]
