Well, okay, I didn't train my now passed on Taz, and could never get her to do it again, but I thought I would share. I had Taz (big female black eyed white/silver) and Rosa sable with me on a trip and visiting a friend. Taz was being a nut and my friend picked her up, looked her in they eye and said "I'm going to torture you, I'm going to hold you absolutely STILL!" Taz looked at him, then her head plopped over, FAST ASLEEP! As if to say, "yeah, well, I know what will get your goat." I was rolling, my friend was yelling saying "no! No! you can't do that! You can't!" Taz had a reputation for being a hard sleeper (scared me nearly to my death on more than one occasion!), she's snoozing away. He put her down and she bounced up and dooked at him and chomped on his boot and danced away. I'll never forget it. And to this I feel so sorry for Rosa. She's lost both of her friends in the space of about a month, and the only other ferret in the house beats her up. Poor girl needs a friend. I'll have to see what I can find around here (it's a shelter desert here and I can't travel very far). My prayers and thoughts are will all the ill fuzzies and worried moms and dads.
