Regarding Ferret Nicknames: I guess I'm kind of embarassed because I only have one. As I pick each one up I tell him/her you are my precious poly-wog-frog-dog My precious - (obvious) poly-wog (their long tails) frog (thier fantastic jumping motions) dog (they love to give kissy face just like their canine brothers - the dogs) Yes, you all suspected it before - "Chere" is wierd. I know you want to know the nickname for the dogs so this is it (keep in mind both my dogs are male) my precious boy-joy-foy-doy-toy O.K. so I'm running on only 3 cyclinders. You should hear our morning song - it's short and goes like this: It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood The little ferrets are feeling good The little ferrets are feeling fine. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood All the animals are feeling good All well & Happy & feeling fine. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood Everyone is feeling good We are bless and all feeling fine. What can I say - I know none of you will ever again take me seriously.
