[nagdu] Guide Dogs and Pets

[Larry D. Keeler]

Well, I don't know about white rats but Holly wants a ferret!  Every time I 
go into my local pet store, they usually have a ferret out in there.  And, 
the ferret usually comes over and gets right under Holly's nose and wants to 
play!  More than once, I have to ask the owner if I can put the ferret away 
so that Holly won't get into trouble!  They also have cats out and sometimes 
birds and a littler terrier.  The only thing I wouldn't trust Holly around 
are the bunnies!  She really thinks they are furry food!  I introduced her 
to a hedgehog a while back.  She looked and then sniffed!  She touched the 
thing with her nose and learned quick!  Fortunately, I had the hog in my 
hand and she didn't press the nose so she really didn't get hurt but I'm 
sure it was a surprise!
