TO BRAD: i totally respect and admire your choice to take Tasha the biter. i am unsure if there is anything you can do, just try and be careful. i adopted a male who was supposed to be a biter. he has turned out to be the most incredibly sweet fellow. he was severly abused by a man who would kick him across the room, etc. i am told he really does not like men. none have been around to meet him, so i don't know. but with me is a doll. he loves to kiss! anyway, good luck! TO JENNY: regarding your comments on "don't blame those who don't know" i totally agree with you. i have to say, i am very intolerant of ignorance and "oh, they're old. they'd never understand" i say this because i have been battling the ignorance/can't change battle with my lesbianism and it is crap. anyway, i agree! AND TO EVERYBODY ELSE: i am sitting here while my 5 kids run around in the back of the house getting into everything. they usually are in their own bedroom but i decided to let them out into the other bedroom and the bathroom. i have discovered my plunger is now in my closet, all of my christmas decorations, etc., are all over the bedroom, all my toilet paper in rolls has little teeth marks in it, and all the sheets are off the futon. i think they're getting tired, tho. i would love to get together in person to do "ferret stuff" with other FML members but alas, i am in california and have some contacts with "important" ferret activists and am really afraid to leave my name. sorry. okay. take care!
