I just joined the list yesterday, and thought that I'd introduce myself. I don't have a ferret yet, but I'm working on it. I've actually been interested in them for a few years, but the web has really made it easy for me to get information, and now I have information to go along with the interest. I do have one rather tough obsticle to overcome - my wife. Whenever we've seen ferrets at the mall, she looks at them with disgust and calls them "rats". She won't even discuss it with me, and last night we had a couple of hurt feelings over some things said regarding ferrets. Does anyone have any ideas that might help let her become informed, or anyone have a story where someone discovered that they actually like ferrets instead of hating them? Background: She loves dogs, likes cats, and we have an (almost) 3 year old daughter who is very gentle with animals. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! =) ** LaCier A.
