To the FML I would just like to put a message of thanks out to the many people who responded personally to my question. It was a very informative adventure. Reguarding the dogs and ferrets as family members. I have leared this. If possible get a puppy/ The breed doesn't seem to matter with the proper traing and supervision/ Most ferrets tend to intimidate the cats as well as the dogs/ This information was based on teh response of over thirty ferret owners all person opinions that I have compiled. Although personal situations differ this was the jist of all that information. Pam Sasman [Posted in FML issue 2886]
