And  wouldn't say that I love ferrets exactly, any more than I'd say that I love cats or dogs. I love individual ferrets, cats, or dogs, but ferrets have many unappreciated good qualities, and they've had a consistently bad press for far too long. They're domesticated animals and they deserve our respect and friendship. So if anyone visits they have to be prepared for the possibility that they'll be kissed and licked by little furry animals with big teeth, which they might previously have thought of as being nasty, bitey, and smelly. Seems to have worked so far, as there's tumbleweed blowing down the drive now. lol:   Fatuorum
