This is the first time I've written, but I just couldn't resist telling you about our kids. At the beginning of November we purchased a 6 week old ferret, named Cecil. He joined our already overly furry household of three dogs and a cat. We weren't sure how they would get along, but Cecil and the cat, Thing, got along great right from the start. Behr, our 4 yr. old, 105 pound, baby didn't want to be left out, so he too quickly became friends with Cecil. Otus, our 85 pound "animal control officer" wasn't too sure he liked having another kid in the house, but after a month of only visiting Cecil through the cage he decided that Cecil could stay. They are now insperable. If Cecil hasn't been out for his usual play time Otus will lay by the cage and whine until we let Cecil out to play. Samantha, our oldest kid, and only girl, doesn't want anything to do with any of her brothers, but isn't mean to any of them. She just leaves the room. All our boys are now practically insperable, and take turns playing with Cecil until he's too pooped to play. The moral of this story is...if introduced at a pace that is consistent with the pet's personality almost any kind of will get along with another. Louise, Sam, Otus, Behr, Thing & Cecil [Posted in FML issue 1432]
