I have a funny story (at least I think it's funny) One of our ferrets named Willy is very smart. I noticed that he would come and lay down by me a lot and I would rub his head and neck. If I let him into an area where he was not often allowed he would bounce, jump, and get into everything. I figured he was bored in the play area. I thought he memorized the toys even though we changed them every week and became board. I felt so bad for him and I tried to find things which would stimulate him but he still would come and lay down by me and I would pet him. Then one week I couldn't be home when our fuzzies were out to play. I was informed when I wasn't there Willy would run and play and bounce with the other ferrets. All this time I thought he was board when he just liked to be by me and get his head and neck rubbed. Mike [Posted in FML 6462]
