Cindy said >We had everything from raccoons to dogs to a peacock to cats to horses. >Yet the only other animal that has grabbed me like my ferrets have was my >horse and that was long ago." I see alot of horse & ferret owners post. Interesting combination. Have you ever introduced your ferrets to your horse? I stopped at the barn one afternoon on the way home from the vet with my Silver mitt (hell child) Rascal. After letting him tunnel through the clean-horse free stall for a while (he loved that) I decided to let him meet my mare. I was curious how he would react to something that big that he had never seen before. I put him on the ground in the paddock -- he saw the horses and walked right over. Absolutely no fear! My mare put her head down and he sat up on his hind legs and gave her a kiss! That would have been quite the picture. Its funny how "non-ferret" people say things like. "Oh I have a big dog, your ferret will probably be scared. "Well sorry but if they are not afraid of a horse what makes you think your dog will be intimidating! Oh and Ed -- this non-large animal fearing animal is a "wimpy MF ferret"! [Posted in FML issue 2650]
