Reading Dick's comment on flat ferrets was so funny since it fits into our home. We do ferret fishing that is a blast and lots of fun for GiGi our ferret. You have a favorite toy attached to a long string and toss it out over the floor and troll slowly across the floor. WHAM the ferret is chomped onto the toy. (done gently) She goes crazy. She barks and chatters up a storm. And the temper flares with opened mouth hissing and hopping up/down/sideways/rolls. This can last for 30 minutes to 1 hour and then zonk shes out for nail clipping. here's abbreviation for GiGi #:-O catching fishing. Enjoyed the FML Melinde [Posted in FML issue 1540]
