Hello all, I'm sorry I didn't finish my post from yesterday, but this work place can be such a nuisance some days. To finish my post, I was woken up the other night by Al screaming in his sleep. I assumed that this was a nightmare, so I picked him up and he quieted right down (the whole time remaining alseep). I can recall no really tramatic events since Al came into my life, at least not tramatic to him. With the realization that these critters arepretty smart and inventive, and that they seem to have a basic understanding of time. Could they be troubled by dreams much like people, nightmares and other such strange dreams. I've seen my parents dogs chasing rabbits or other animals in their dreams, but never nightmares. I guess my question is just how intelligent are ferrets? I've seen them work out difficult problems, but I've also seen them jump into the shower and then want out of the water.
