Hi! I am new to FML and thought I should introduce myself and my little buddy before just jumping into the conversations. I have been a ferret companion for a little over a year now, and am only now getting the hang of it. My little buddy (AKA Fineous the Whistler Finger) is the most beautiful female silver mit that I have ever seen. (No I'm serious! She is!). I play the flute and the recorder and found out quite by accident that the high end notes in the sapronodrive her into a killing rage. (No kidding again! I have the scars to proove it! I only did it once.) In all other aspects we adore each other, but I can't play soprano in the house, only tenor. The lower notes interest her greately when played and no matter where she is in the house, if I start playing, she will wake up, (yes actually wake up) and come over and cuddle with me as I play. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar. Now if I can only get her to stop stealing the bannanas from the top of the refrigrator, I'll be happy! Thanks.
