Just opened this morning's 10/19/94 Globe. The comic strip Non Sequitur is all about Ferrets. Not bad drawings either. I never knew that we were on 'the cutting edge'. Thanks Jon-Anne, I'll keep an eye out for some tags. R&S mostly object to the collar. We tried a harness for a while on Squeekers while walking, but he was pretty insulted by it and spent more time getting out of it than in 'walking'. Mostly he gets carried in his ski hat when we go out in the mornings. He really likes it in the cool weather when he can snuggle down inside and look out from on 'on high'. It also helps with the problem of uninvited guests, or that 'unique pepper effect' :) that Mac mentioned yesterday (FML 986). We have bombed the house several times over the years and had an exterminator at least once. Our cat Jack's flea collar had expired and he was the source spreading it to both ferrets, their bedding and all the hiding places, sofas, beds, etc. They are the dickens to get rid of. Squeeks was also out in the back yard under supervison of our son and came back with over fifty ticks, so mostly we carry now, though we call it walking. Sides, it's faster that way. The liitle guys get plenty of exercise in the house. W.M. fr Anon [Posted in FML issue 0987]
