Greetings from FFZ Given time any animal will name itself, our bundle of joy is named Ellis. when Ellis came into our lives he was a lil terror, dragging and hiding everything that wasn't nail down (shoes, socks, plums, keys, small children), we would chase him around saying "you lil sh*t, give me that" (affectionately:)) so we started calling him LS or Ellis. Ellis is 2 years old albino ferret. when people see him, they think he is a rat (pink eyes, pink nose and white) which helps us being in a FFZ. I can own a rat but not a ferret, this is a strange world. let's hope one day Caifornia and here in Taxachuetts can have frolics of are own. [Posted in FML issue 1114]
