Hi all. Rocket met his first DOG! Our friend (a frequent weekend visitor) just reclaimed his dog from his parents and will now be visiting with a 3 1/2 yr old very friendly lab (a HUGE scaredy cat-wimpers at the sight of balloons and runs when the phone rings). Well, Rocket (the ferret) loved Nicki (the lab) and wanted more than anything to sniff, play, etc. Nicki on the other hand wimpered and hid under the table, tentitively sniffing and snuffling. How do I get these two to be friends? I am afraid the hunting instinct in Nicki will not allow her to befriend a small critter. I felt so bad having to leave Rocket in his cage all night. I tried letting him play in other rooms but he spent the whole time digging under the door trying to get to the dog...Any suggestions? As for the person who asked about fuzzy attraction to bathroom scales, I have always wondered that myself. Rocket loves to curl up on the scale. Maybe he thinks he has a weight problem. At 3 pounds, he is a little chubby, although I think he has slimmed down since summer started. Is that natural? Maybe its because he is shedding? Happy ferretting Diane [Posted in FML issue 1292]
