A year ago we went looking for a fuzzie friend for the baby we had gotten a Christmas. We picked out a an active little guy of about a year or so old. After we brought him home he seemed to be afraid of every noise and movement that was made. When we tried to play with him he seemed to think we were going to hurt him and would run and hide. Well, after a year passing our big Burglar has finally decided tonight that he can run and jump and play with us, tackle us and hold unto our arm and grab with that little love bite and it was OK! He finally acts like a real ferret! Burglar still is afraid to go outside much but we will get that in time. I guess it takes different lengths of time for different ferrets to get use to their new surroundings but it makes you wonder what kind of life they had before they were given up for adoption. Just thought this was a great story to share. Love and Fuzzie Kisses Penny and Burglar(happy) [Posted in FML issue 2268]
