Gentle readers: I think something needs be cleared up here before we all lose sight of what probably really happened. In the first place, it may very well be that the ferret was in the wrong place at the right time and not even involved in the incident. Now..if the fert WAS involved, what probably happened had nothing to do with temperment, or having 'thousands of years of killer instinct'. Infant was between 2 stoned parents on couch. Baby was doing what babies do..drool or upchuck. What do babies drool or upchuck? Why...MILK! Now...what respectable ferret will turn down a lick or two of milk? With no control to say 'when' the ferret started licking and then started biting, to get a more milk. End result is a baby with multilple bites. Again, there is a very good possibility that the ferret was not even involved in this incident. Let's not build this too far and say irresponsible things that we really don't mean. We have reports tonight of the ferret being a cuddle kid and very sweet. I don't know what really happened, any more than the rest of us, but..knowing how my two fuzzies love milk, and what they will do to get milk, I offer ~my~ suppositions... Joe (MC, the REALLY rude one) Garret: Did some one say milk? Snorkle: Milk? Wait until I finish playing in this cold, white stuff..THIS is fun! [Posted in FML issue 2228]
