Hi all, As far as nicknames go, probably my funniest was one of my kits' baby names; Peeve, so he could be introduced as "my pet Peeve". He did, indeed, live up to the name, and would squall and complain vigorously on many topics. V'orri is also known as Chicken Big, [as in Chicken Little thinks the sky is falling] because when unexpected stuff happens he bugs his eyes, flattens down and then RUNS under the nearest piece of furniture. Other than that we have furballs, ankle biters, toe ticklers, tunnel snakes, rug rats, hey-you-little-sneak, pipsqueak, little squirt, pretty girl, and the HULK [V'orri again]. During the time that the SO's sister and her children lived with us, the ferrets were also known as BITES. V'orri was a terrible biter in his youth, and I had to indoctrinate the toddlers to NOT EVER touch the ferrets without me there. I like to give the 1 inch puppy bones to the ferrets as treats, and the oldest child [2-1/2 at the time] used to call them Bite Cookies. [On the other hand, his cagemate Frieda could be trusted with anyone and everyone, including the kids. She crossed over a year ago, and my friends, family and vet still talk about how wnderful she was.] Happy Turkey Day and dooks to all, Janice Underwood Silk CGC [greyhound] Schenectady, NY V'orri [silver mitt ferret] e-mail: [log in to unmask] Kayla [sable ferret kit] [Posted in FML issue 1388]
