Hi all, Now that the nice weather has finally arrived in Southern Ontario, Canada, our fuzzy has finally discovered the great outdoors and the neighbourhood kids have discovered him. At first, we were a little nervous about letting him mingle with the crowd of children that gather around him but soon discovered that he likes to cuddle with them and lets them all pet him with no sign of even a playful nip. He makes one heck of an ambassador for the fuzzy world. The other day I went to P/U my S.O. at work and took him along for the ride. He spent the whole time in the car looking out of the windows with a real strange look on his face. But once again, when taken in and introduced to my wifes co-workers, he acted like a perfect gentle ferret, All anyone got out of him was kisses. We have to go out today and pickup some carpet runner to try and ferret proof the bedroom door area of the house. I figure that with five more minutes of effort he will have managed to dig his way into the room even with a closed door. For some reason, this door is the only one that he can't stand to see closed. Maybe 'cause he has sooooo much fun torpedoing under the covers. Anyway, sorry this is so long.Best wishes to all the sick ferrets and their owners.
