Leo is a dark eyed white deaf oldster that is a N-bone hog. He absolutely adores and lives for them. Several others in the group enjoy them too but none as much as Leo. When company visits they'll often feel a pair of dark black eyes boring into them. That would be Leo using his telepathic powers to make them give him a N bone. First thing in the morning when Leo wakes up he'll ask for his N bones. The other morning I was doling out N-bones (we go through a ton of these frequently) and Bandit came up to see what the fuss was all about. Bandit doesn't eat N bones and doesn't understand why anyone would even consider it. I try anyway. Bandit sniffed it then looked up at me with THAT look, then wandered off down the hall. A minute later here he comes back up the hall with two ferrets in tow, two ferrets that also adore N bones, and walks them over to me. They looked up expectantly and I gave them each their half of a N bone (I give halves because we go through so many and I can give more that way), and after Bandit saw them get their treat he went over and curled up in the hammock, satisfied he'd done a loving deed. These kids never stop amazing me. tle www.ferretfamilyservices.org [Posted in FML 6118]
