I know we're being silly here but I have to tell you that yes, we
actually do have a ferret. Three dogs and a ferret, and they all get
along just fine. We've pretty much made our house ferret-safe, but I
do have one recliner, and I have to be VERY careful before I sit in
it, because the little guy (Samson, in case you wonder what his name
is) might be hiding in there. He has his own room, but the door is
always open and quite frankly one of the dogs (a boxer) has adopted
him as his special friend. They are together constantly and it's
just a little weird, but there you have it. Yeah, I know, it's like
having a rat as a pet but we love the little guy and that's the way it
is.

The Doc says my brain waves closely match those of a crazed ferret.
At least now I have an excuse.
