My parents 80 pounds GSD mix was absolutely terrified of my 4 pound ferret. She knew it and totally took advantage of it. If we let the ferrets out of the cage to run around the room the dog would hide behind any human available. The ferret, being wise, pretended not to notice him and would become incredibly involved in either playing or sniffing with her back to him, right in front of his face. Eventually, he would believe that she was so busy that she wouldnt' notice if he took a a quick butt-sniff. He would creep out from behind his hiding place, and carefully and cautiously bring his nose nearer to her butt. She would pretend not to notice. He would become more confident and bring his nose slightly closer. She would spring around, arms outstretched, and grab onto his snout with both eevil, little paws. He would turn tail and run, if she was well attached, she remained hanging from his snout. If not, she would grab his tail as it went by and hang from that. He would run around the room attempting to shake her loose, and eventually she would hop off and do the happy-ferret victory dance - a special, hunchbacked dance done with an open mouth and an upturned head, while chortling. Of course, then she would position herself near the dog, and begin looking very disinterested again. He would eventually fall for the same guise, oh at least twice a day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
