Hi,
My name is Pat & my husband's name is Dave. We live in Wayne NJ. Our
fuzzy's name is Sparky. She is adorable. She is a petite sable, about
2.25 lbs. I got her at a local pet store in Feb '98 when she was about 8
weeks old.
As a child, I only had goldfish. Once I married & moved into my house, I
had rabbits & a parakeet. When the parakeet went to the Bridge, I got a
cockatiel. Then we took the big step of adopting an Umbrella Cockatoo. We
researched, and saved, and made a conscious decision to take Casper in.
Unfortunately, I developed an extreme, rare allergic reaction to the birds
and when my lungs were working about 30%, they found out what it was & I
was in the hospital for a week. Needless to say the birds had to go -
right away. I truly loved them & we had bonded. It was very sad. So I
wanted a new pet, one that you could interact with but none as demanding as
a puppy since we are out all day. Then I heard about ferrets, how great
they are, how much they sleep, and of course their wonderful personalities.
I never expected to fall so deeply in love with Sparky. She brings more
joy to me than any other pet. She had an infected anal gland removed about
a year ago.
I am not sure how I found out about the FML - probably in Modern Ferret.
I have been a member a little over a year. It is a great list. I have
met lots of really nice folks & their fuzzbutts via the FML. And I have
learned so much.
Keep up the good work BIG!
Prayers to all the sick little ones and their humans; condolences to all
those whose fuzzies are waiting at the Bridge.
Sincerely,
Pat
