Hi all! Well, here I sit reading my FML when I should be getting ready to leave for the show..... :) With all the talk about ferrets and dogs, thought I tell you all an interesting tidbit about my dog. She is a Chinese Shar Pei and was 6 weeks old when we got her (she's now 2 yrs). She's been raised with ferrets and knows to be gentle with them (her command is to "be nice") and loves them to death. Well, last year we discovered that she is allergic to ferret bites! When a fert gets a little rambunctious and nibbles on her very ample lips and eyebrows, her face swells up like a balloon. Poor baby, she can't understand now why she can't wrestle with the fuzzies anymore. I have pictures of the last time this happened to her, so anyone coming to the show, if you're interested, ask to see them (I'll probably be busy all day judging, but my daughter will be running my booth). As all my friends and family say, it would be ME who has a ferret allergic dog! :( I won't be reading my FML now til after the show and I'll update everyone on the trophies, etc. on Sunday or Monday. Have a fuzzy weekend everyone! Tracy Mid-Michigan Ferrets and Rescue "Where the Fun Starts!" GLFA Show Registrar [Posted in FML issue 1748]
