rincewind92 0 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I did things the hard way. I tried to smuggle a couple of jills into the house when my mother was out. unfortunate for me she came home early and i was caught red handed. she wouldn't speak to me for about a fortnight afterward.

borderboy 80 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I just Would Not give up or give that poor woman a moments respite! I simply made it so that a ferret or a Dog about the place would make Her life bliss: If it would only shut me the **** up with my whineing, nagging and cajoling Mheanwhile, complete the classic Pincer attack by coming at her yeself like a river. Make her eat, sleep and dream Ferrets till it gets so that having the damn things around will be less bother than Hearing constantly hearing ye hinting about them! That's what I'd do. And god help ye mum now! It works, but be prepared for the long haul... took me about 6 years to persuade my mum... when she did finally give in to ONE ferret at some time in the future... she came home from a trip away about a fortnight after saying yes... to find i had two moved in ...

comanche 3,264 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 hi im georgia im 13 years old i love dogs and ferrets i have 1 dog at home (black lab named barney) but she wont even let me have a ferret i need all of your help to perswade my mum to get me a ferret of my own please help me by posting coments thank you georgia xx Hello. The only reason I was allowed a ferret without too much parental hassle was because apparently my Dad had wanted one as a lad but his Dad would'nt let him .Mum was " just Mum" about it.After all she'd suffered house-fulls of hamsters ,mice ,grass snakes,newts,God knows what, even eels and a baby pike. In the end she was more interested in my first ferret than Dad.Always saving bits of meat for Sydney (Ok ,maybe not the coolest name for a fred) . She'd come home from work ,sniff, and say, " Hm,you've had that blooming ferret in here again".(Georgina ,do not show your Mum that bit .Anyway ferrets have a lovely subtle aroma.) Sydneys party piece was to scamper from his hutch on the patio,through the patio doors,through the sitting room,up the hall and into the kitchen.Once there he was pretty certain of finding the remains of the cats' milk.Once finished he'd run back through the house,jump in his cage and tackle his own food. My old Mum still talks with affection about Sydney. Good luck with persuading your Mum. Quote Link to post
paddy.t 5 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi Georgia, why not have a ferret of your own that you can look after at your grandads, you get all the pleasure of keeping your own ferret & none of the hassall from your mom Best of both worlds juts what i was thinking kay beat me to it eh Quote Link to post

Guest Magwitch Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Another suggestion is to tell her you want a pony for your birthday and maybe she will settle for a ferret instead Quote Link to post
