alright, i need major help. i want a ferret so, so bad. but my parents say NO. i need your help to persuade them to say YES. i need to make them see my side of the story. their side is my older step-brother had a ferret and it stunk really bad and he left it with his parents when he went to college. and they say he only got a ferret because they didnt know what ferrets were like, but now that they had one... you know they dont want another in this house. but i think i can take better care of my ferret and keep the smell down. and our parents were also upset about the ferret tearing up the couch and ruining the carpet. but i told her i would keep it in its cage most the time, and keep an eye on it when i let him out. plus i said id keep it in my room.
i got a dog once, and i didnt completely keep my word about taking care of it because my parents took over that job for me, they didnt even give me a chance to take care of it myself, they automatically fed it and everything.
so it's hard to persuade my parents, they really dont negotiate very much. and they feel very strongly about this ferret thing. so i need your help to help them see my side and persuade them into saying freakin YES.

Well most people will tell you get the ferret descented, dont. Its a waste of money. Their scent is because there skin has a natural oil in it, they will still have their distinct scent. On the other hand ferrets can be bathed twice a week to keep the smell down. Tell your parents you will buy him a harness and leash, those are neat for ferrets. Ferrets are kind of low maintenance animals, keep their cage cleaned and fresh food and water. Just keep telling them you're responsible enough and really think you deserve a chance with a ferret.
