OMG!! ROFLMAO!! I'm sorry to admit that it took about the 3rd or 4th paragraph for me to "catch on"! However, I must inform you that this genetic deviation is not limited to the "don't breed no stupit ferrets" breeder mentioned in your post. Alarming, but true! I have a MF kiddo who not only leaves me frustrated and defeated at the skirt of my couch on a daily basis, but appears to also be resistant to the squeakie-'tone combination. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!
