Just one last thing in regard ferrets with biting reputations. I did it. I promised myself that the next time i was at my friend Florence Love's home, I would NOT ignore the boys, Evander and Tyson. Well today, i did NOT! As Florence held each boy, i gave them the best belly scratch i had. Ohhhh, they were so sweet, and NOT ONCE did either one of them try or even make the slightest move, to bite me. Look what I missed out on last time just because i was afraid of them because of their biting reputation. I felt so good!! Tyson and Evander, I am so sorry. I owe you a huge apology. At one time you may have had one heck of a biting problem, but thanks to your mom teaching you that touches aren''t always a bad thing, that love can come from a human touch. In those teachings you have learned to trust humans and that is a wonderful gift and NO ONE could have taught you better than your mom. Thank you for letting me pet you and scratch your tummies. You are beautiful and very handsome boys and I KNOW your mom is very proud of you. Thank you for teaching me about bad reputations and NOT always doing things with those reputations to guide me. Thank you for being the loving boys that you are today. Next time i come to your house, i will scratch your tummies again with no fear of becoming fingerless. Good job Florence. VERY SINCERELY!
