My ferret, Abby has taught me that when she "sits-up" on her hind legs, it's time for me to get up and give her a treat. Sometimes she has to get my attention first by tapping me on the leg. She probably thinks I'm a little "slow" since, sometimes, she has to repeat the command several times before I perform; and sometimes, when she wants to show me off to her buddies, I won't do it at all. Still, she seems to love me, though, in spite of it. Dick B. [Posted in FML issue 1784]
