Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2006Barney Ferret has arrived
Well, I went and picked up Barney ferret from the RSPCA today. He's come home and so far, touch wood, introductions to Gertie are going well. Whilst I was at the animal centre, I met Lassie. http://www.llysnini-rspca.org.uk/documents/lsn060909lassie.pdf She's a very sweet dog who is about the same size as my dog Bonnie. I'm very torn.... I took her for a walk whilst I was waiting for Barney, and she is very quiet but has a wicked sense of humour. I need another dog like I need a hole in the head, and Robbie has a problem with dogs too. She's an older lady who gets passed by every time, because she's not much to look at, and she doesn't sell herself well. So why am I planning on taking Bonnie to meet her tomorrow to see if they get on? Helen M >Well, I went and picked up Barney ferret from the RSPCA today.

Good luck with that! >^.^< >Whilst I was at the animal centre, I met Lassie. > >http://www.llysnini-rspca.org.uk/documents/lsn060909lassie.pdf Awwwww... she looks like a taller, thinner version of Bruno, a german shepherd-cross we had when I was a kid. Meanest looking doggie in the neighborhood. All the parents were afraid of him, all the kids loved him, and he loved them right back. >She's a very sweet dog who is about the same size as my dog Bonnie. I'm >very torn....

Heh, you're hopeless, Helen. And what do you mean, 'not much to look at'? She looks very sweet to me. And where are the pics of Barney?  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

My experience of ferrets is that they are gregarious and I would anticipate no problem at all introducing Gertie & Barney. In no time they will be sleeping all in a huddle ;-) > Whilst I was at the animal centre, I met Lassie. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > So why am I planning on taking Bonnie to meet her tomorrow to see if > they get on? Because you are kind and you know what is likely to happen to her if no-one adopts her. GSD/Collie is a lovely mix, you seem to get the best of both, IME.

That's just what I needed when I know I shouldn't think about adopting more animals.... an enabler. ;o) Sheesh. I think I have some more thinking to do. I *CAN'T* really have another dog, but my heart says otherwise. :o( Helen M >> Because you are kind and you know what is likely to happen to her if >> no-one [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Sheesh.

But only you know how much more you can handle without putting what you already have at risk.

I think I have some more thinking to do. I *CAN'T* really have > another dog, but my heart says otherwise. :o( Two dogs are not really any more trouble than one. At least get her away from that awful place. Maybe you could find one of your friends that would take her once she is safe if you really can't have another dog. She has a lovely kind face and I suspect she will be no trouble whatsoever. It's not as if she's been turned in because of behavioural problems, she was a cruelty case and when cruelty cases get adopted they cannot believe their luck and usually behave very well. I leave it up to you. No pressure. Tweed > Two dogs are not really any more trouble than one. At least get her away > from that awful place. Maybe you could find one of your friends that would [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Tweed//// No, no pressure at all, which is why I have decided to drive back to Swansea tomorrow to *discuss things further*. ;o) The cats are a *HUGE* issue. Robbie in particular as he's very scared of dogs. I'll have a chat to the staff tomorrow. Helen M >> Well, I went and picked up Barney ferret from the RSPCA today.

Much luck and I'm sure we'll hear from you soon. kili -- http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/kilikini > Well, I went and picked up Barney ferret from the RSPCA today.

For those of you who don't know, Ferretone is an oil supplement for ferrets that they love, and is rather smelly. How to introduce 2 strange ferrets to one another and have them accept each other in 10 minutes flat... 1) Liberally squirt ferrets in ferretone so they are covered. 2) Put them in an extra large cat carrier (neutral territory) 3) What them lick each other 1/2 to death. Barney arrived at 4 pm this evening. It is now 11pm and I have just checked both him and Gertie. They are curled up togther in a very nice ferrety heap in a tiny box, snoozing away. Barney has been renamed Barney Bear, because he looks just like a little polar bear. Jpegs will follow mid next week when my bro gets his posh camera out and takes some photos.

The "ferrety heap" sounds wonderful. What powerful stuff. I know your brother is extremely skilled at taking one eyed kitten pictures, so I want to see how he does with smaller and speedier subjects. >>And boy, I love ferretone for introductions.

Or if Helen has a less posh camera, I'm sure she could manage with sleeping in a heap subject, regardless of their size ;) How delightful!

I just completed my move from California to Arizona (more or less) and found a PetSmart near me. (They carry a large selection of supermarket catfood at twenty cents less per 6-oz. can than I was paying in California, BTW.) I'd never seen a ferret before (I think someone here said California didn't allow ferrets as pets). PetSmart had some right next to the area where the cat rescue people were displaying (adorable) kittens. I can see their charms - the fur looks so SOFT, and they sleep all sprawled out on their backs like a relaxed kitten. Are they as cuddly as kittens, too? I can see their charms - the fur looks > so SOFT, and they sleep all sprawled out on their backs like > a relaxed kitten. Are they as cuddly as kittens, too?/// They are waaaay more naughty than kittens, if that is possible. They make hooliganism a fine art form. ;o) They are cute and very cuddly - if they deign to stay still long enough. ;o) Helen M > I can see their charms - the fur looks >> so SOFT, and they sleep all sprawled out on their backs like [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Helen M Someone once saids that ferrets are the pet for people who find kittens insufficiently stimulating. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War >> I can see their charms - the fur looks >>> so SOFT, and they sleep all sprawled out on their backs like [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Someone once saids that ferrets are the pet for people who find > kittens insufficiently stimulating. ;) I kept ferrets for many years.
