I have a Black Lab who is the MOST patient, loving and tolerant thing on this earth. She has played happily and gently with 2 week old kittens, sat happily while my lovebird climbed and nibbled all over her and lived through my five children. I desperately want to introduce her to my ferret "Mo", however when I held Mo on my shoulder and let her see Tasha, my lab, Tasha remained quite calm and curious about Mo, while Mo let out a screech the likes of which I've never heard before, except from the owls on our property at night. I definitely don't want to give Mo a heart attack, but think they could be great companions given a chance. Any tips on how to get this relationship off the ground?? I hate to have to keep them apart when they are both such a big part of the family. thanks for any advice...... [SB] [Posted in FML issue 2102]
