A question, an oddity, and a story...I am forwarding a question from my wife that I think I have straightened out. Imrab3 is a 3-year vaccination for dogs and cats, why is it a 1-year for ferrets? An oddity... We have one of those foot massaging tubs that vibrates and heats the water you put in it. We had it out a few weeks ago and the water had epsom salt in it. Our youngest (K2 (katie)) decided it was neat and sniffed at the water a little, but then surprised us by repeatedly stick her face into the water almost up to her ears. Anybody seen this or know what she was trying to do? She usually isn't big on getting her face wet at all. A story...I have a friend who was working at a museum (The Pink Palace in Memphis) and they had some ferrets and lots of other things, like some big lab rats. One of the ferrets was about six years old, albino, blind, and arthritic. She usually would be allowed to roam the lab while my friend was there. One day one of the lab rats escaped and bolted under the refrigerator. The ferret went after the rat almost instantly, a few seconds later my friend heard a scream and then silence. When he finally got the refrigerator moved he found the rat dead. It was basically the same size as the ferret, but the ferret had offed it in no time. It seems that ferrets can be hunters when they feel like it. ---Rob [Posted in FML issue 1189]
