Vincent My husband was basically an anti-animal person. Everytime I get a pet he threatened to depart. He has learned to love all of them and now can't imagine life without them. He was very ferret resistent even though I have owed and loved rats. He just adores the ferret we have and is very willing to get more. I had the opportunity to babysit for a friend's ferret which helped soften my husband up. Even the most resistent person can't resist a ferret for long. They are too amusing and loveable. Keep trying to convince your wife. She doesn't know what she is missing. [Posted in FML issue 1072]
