Well folks, I have good news! No, it's GREAT news! Today for the first time, the little ferret who is in transition to a new home, let me pick her up without a glove. Not just once, but TWICE! I thought Whitefang/aka Pookey was a biter - this one bit to kill. It's hard to discipline a ferret with blood running down your hand, but we now have an understanding. I've tamed many a biter, none quite so viscious as this little lady, and I was beginning to lose hope. Lots of love and time has helped this be a happy ending for her. Many thanks to Ed Lipinski for his Linatone idea - that was the winner! Now all she wants to do is look for treaties on mommy's hands! (unfortunately, the feet aren't winning the same battle <sigh>) GO KODO GO! We're with you baby! Monica Calgary Ferret Club [Posted in FML issue 1964]
