We've been slowly working with Gimble for a couple of weeks now.  Using
LOTS of treats, we got her to the point where we could touch and hold her
feet without her struggling.  Tonight, we clipped one whole paw!!  No
struggling!  No fuss!  (At least no more fuss than you'd expect from trying
to hold an active 7 month old ferret.)
 
We'll try another paw tomorrow.  We don't want to overwhelm her too much
the first night, but I think we may be licking the problem.
 
Now THAT is something to be thankful for!

Gimble (Hmm. That wasn't so bad. How about another treat?)
