I too didn't find the story about the couple who's ferret starting pulling on the body ring offensive either. There was nothing explicit - I actually thought it was kinda funny, but it must have *hurt*!!! When Nik was little, I was laying on the floor playing with him and he got ahold of one of my hoop earrings and was determined to run off with his booty with me still firmly attached!! OOOOOOOW!! It was quite the trick to grab him, the earring and get him to let go! mine, mine, mine!! I don't think so, my dear little fuzz-butt! I try to keep him away from my ears when I'm wearing earrings with hoops or that dangle! I think someone asked if anyone else's ferret has a thing for ears - I remember one time Nik (yes the biggest Poop-Disturber!!) was walking along the back of the couch when myself and my friend, Wendy, who has pretty short hair were sitting there talking. He suddenly reached over, licked her ear once and nipped - needless to say, Wendy was very surprized, I was utterly embarrassed (he had never done this before!) and Nik was not impressed when I flicked his nose and grounded him for about ten minutes!! Another friend of mine says his ferret has a thing for his mom's ears - NOT GOOD!! Anyways, back to work - happy ferret dancing!! George!! [Posted in FML issue 1111]
