I was hoping that Roger McMillan (sp?) could send me some info on the Chicago Ferret Fair. I have looked in some back issues and have not been able to find the right one. Thanks a lot. Obligatory Cute Ferret Story Follows . . . Every other night or so, I try to take a ferret out for a walk (in their harness). Well, the other night was Roo's turn. I can only take one out at a time because all 4 would be shear lunacy :) Well, we took a walk down to the post office (about 4 blocks away) and decided to take another route home. On the way home, we walked past a fenced in yard with 3 small beagle-type dogs. Well, Roo knows my sisters *HUGE* dogs (all females who think that the ferrets are puppies :) Well, Roo stared at the dogs, trying to figure out what was going on. Then, she took 2 steps to the left, the dogs did the same, 2 steps to the right, and the dogs followed. All 3 dogs were doing mirror images of Roo's movements. After a few minutes of her doing this, she got the freaks and we left. I could not figure out why she left, the dogs were wagging their tails and not barking, just following her movements. Then, I figured it out. Roo must have thought she was looking in a mirror and that she had turned into 3 small UGLY (to a ferret) dogs. The poor thing, I would freak out too :) Susan and the fabulous ferret four Roo, Sparky, Boing, and Freddie [Posted in FML issue 0965]
