Now that my brain is working again - I remember what else I was going to mention! To the person who's ferret likes to chew the carpet - Gushi does this too! He *also* scratches at the carpet - but he caught me by surprize the first time I saw him gnawing away at the rug! I joke with him - after I tell him 'NO' - that if he *really* wants to floss his teeth, I'll let him use some of my cinnamon flavoured dental floss! As for the ferret who seems to being so sweet and loving as he licks you but then decides to chew on you - my Nik does this too. I figure it's because I taste good! He doesn't bite hard when he does this, it's more like sampling. As long as he doesn't bite hard, just presses his teeth on me, that's fine. I tell him "ow" or "too hard" if he gets over zealous and he knows to be nice. If he bites too hard & no doesn't work - bite 'em back! It works for me! Well, it's time to get some other stuff done - later all fuzzies & 'their pets'! George and her tribe! D. Pasquino/G. Peters Toronto, Ontario [Posted in FML issue 1360]
