Hi! Well, I guess I'll throw a message into the network here and see what happens... I'm planning on buying two ferrets this spring, probably in May. They'll only be living at home (in Connecticut) part of the year. During the winters, they'll be up at school with me. What I'm concerned about, however, is their first exposure to my family's dog. Since I'll be buying them at home, they'll be forced to be introduced immediatly when I get them home from the pet shop/breeder (wherever I decided to get them). I'm not too keen on the idea of bringing them to a strange place, where they don't know anyone, fresh from their old "home", and meeting my dog right away. She's a nice dog, but _very_ jealous, and although I'm sure ferret and dog could get along once they get to know each other a little, isn't it going to be just a little _too_ traumatic for the ferrets right at the beginning? Or am I worrying too much? I think I'd be less worried if the ferrets were already used to me, and maybe the house, before having to meet the dog. Does anyone have any suggestions, comments, or stories? Thanks! -Seth J. Morabito ======================================================================= Iceland Boy!
