I love this thread - makes me wonder why we give our ferrets so many nicknames (I've never heard of a dog having so many names!). Ferret: Pixie (4.5 yo mf female) Personality: Only ferret, and a first ferret (which for those of you who are experienced, of course means that she doesn't eat rubber [ok, with the exception of the buttons on the remote and pencil erasers], wasn't ever a biter, gives lots of kisses and is generally a lover - i.e. a perfect ferret ambassador) Nicknames: Pickles, Pixel, Pixelly-dixelly-doc, Wilemena the Wonder Weasel, Crud (when she's doing something mischevious - this often gets combined with other names: Pickle-crud, Pixie-crud), Tub-rat (she loves to play in an empty bathtub), Buger (or Buger-butt) I'm sure there are more, but they just sort of come to us when we're playing with her. :) Debbie & Jim Pixie (The one in charge) P.S. Pixie is also called Little Whitefoot because she has white toes. Oh, and Pixelsaurus, and of course, the standards - carpet shark, toe shark, speedbump (as in, "OK, my little Speedbump, time for you to go to bed"). [Posted in FML issue 2397]
