Hey all, just thought I'd let you know about a ferret reference in Firehouse magazine (a Firefighters magazine) in case nobody has mentioned it yet. The article it's in isn't about ferrets, and the ferret is only mentioned in a caption, not shown, but I thought it was pretty neat. Basically it said that a family in Indiana was saved from a fire when they were woken up by the "incessant chirping of their pet ferret." (my dad's a fireman and showed me the magazine, it was march '94)...See, ferrets save lives...everyone should have a few =) . Katie's yorkie pup came home to Houston this week after being very sick (bad breeding practices, apparently). She is not very socialized, but we really want her to get along with the ferrets. So far she's still pretty intimidated by people (we just found out that she was *never* handled before Katie bought her)...her initial reaction to the ferrets was to growl and snap. Any suggestions on how to make her adjust? Anyhow, thanks for all the advice. Kelly Reverend Maynard, Edie, Cosette, Static and Magkij znak.... (and the yorkie, Sonar).... [Posted in FML issue 1881]
