My Significant Other is not only a ferret freind, he used to breed them, was part of a breeder's club, and I suspect we just wouldn't get along as well if we didn't both agree that ferrets are number one with us. He's had 8 to 10, not sure how many, and is just the sweetest! I really lucked out, as he even introduced me to the darling rug warriors. He's a super enthusiast, who likes nothing better than running around on his hands and knees after a ferret, chirping at them. I suppose the only thing we don't agree on is what other pets we like second best. He's a cat guy, I'm a dog gal and lover of birds. Hrmmm ;) Honestly, tho, that's always been a criteria of guys I've dated. The worst ones, honestly, didn't like animals at all and never had pets. I never really thought of it as any sort of connection, cause you just CAN'T make one, really, but the best ones had a cat, some turtles and an iguana, and the ferrets, respecitivly. So I tend to watch out for animal loving guys (well, if I was looking, which I'm not ;)) Mel! [Posted in FML issue 2476]
