I wasn't going to post anything but then I thought that Muf deserved to be mentioned. He really was a wonderful ferret. He was between 7 and 8 years old. The first three years of his life he lived in really horrible and brutal conditions. No one cared about him and he never got any love. He was rescued but being deaf and mistreated for three years he was a terrible bitter. When he bit he would bury his teeth. The person who rescued him decided he was too old to learn not to bite and was going to have him put down. The ferret rescue near me heard about it and persuaded the owner to surrender him. At the rescue he promptly bit everyone within reach, more than once, including me. We brought him home because we have had success with biters before. In those days we always had band-aids near by. Mufasa like to bite on the band-aids which was always nice since the fingers under the band-aids were sore. When Mufasa was out playing no one wanted to be in the room with him, you could almost hear the jaws theme play when he was out. It took 7 months before Muf would stop biting and then become the most wonderful ferret ever. He was the sweetest ferret you could ever know. As far as biting he was also the most trustworthy. When he stopped biting he never went back to it. Muf was the master at dancing to the right while looking to the left and when he ran into something he would dance to the left and look to the right. We are really going to miss our Muf (short for Mufasa). A truly wonderful ferret. Mike [Posted in FML 7080]
