Okay, I just had to add to this!!!!
My favorite ferret is:
RASCAL a sable is my favorite because he is one of the first two that we
adopted. He is a very laid back ferret, he won't give kisses on the face
but will kiss our arms like there is no tomorrow. He never bites, loves
to have his belly rubbed as is a scritch weasel.
BANDIT a sable is my favorite because he is the second of the first
adoption that we did. Bandit is a spaz, Bandit weasel war dances like
crazy when he is excited. Bandit holds a special place in my heart
because we almost lost him after adrenal surgery last year. He spent over
a week at the vets after the surgery and when he finally did come home we
still needed to force feed him. I consider Bandit my miracle ferret.
MAX, a sable is my favorite because he too is a spaz ball, Max is aka
Houdini. If the door is opened, Max comes flying trying to get out before
the door closes. Max is my largest ferret weighing almost 4 lbs., nothing
gets Max down. He is like the protective daddy of all my ferrets. Max
just went in for adrenal surgery and in addition to this the vet removed
two large nodules from his pancreas and a small mass cell tumor from his
anal area. He bounced right back after the surgery and has decided that
duck soup is no longer the food of choice. (Previously he would inhale
it like a hoover vacuum cleaner!)
JASMINE, a marked white is my favorite because she is the oldest one we
have. Jasmine is almost 8 years old. She is very temperamental, does not
play well with others, and gets majorly stressed when she is caged.
Jasmine is our all time free roam ferret. Jasmine is a screamer, when
another ferret even looks at her she screams. It's almost as if she's
saying "Mom their looking at me, come and save me"! Jasmine has both
adrenal and insulinoma. Because of her age, we are not doing surgery on
her, so her time is somewhat limited with us and we are giving her the
best possible time of her life at this point, with as much little stress
as possible at this time.
WILLIE, an albino, is my favorite because, well, he's Willie! Willie will
lay in our arms for hours and let us stroke his belly. Willie follows us
around like a puppy, Willie will jump in the shower with us if we don't
close the door fast enough. Willie is our house ambassador. When someone
comes to visit, Willie is the first one there to welcome them to our
humble abode! Willie is the first one there when we are getting ready to
leave, he looks up at us as if to say, "Hey, mom, please take me with you,
I promise I'll be a good boy"!
SYDNEY, a sterling silver mitt, aka Sydney Elizabeth. Yes, the only
ferret we have that has both a first and middle name! Sydney is my
favorite because she is the most beautiful ferret I have owned. And the
most persistent ferret I have ever known. That would explain why she has
both a first and middle name. Sydney will just look at you with eyes
that appear to be saying, "I'm a really great girl, don't you think I'm
adorable, will you give me some love" Of course, the answer is yes!
Sydney was adopted for me for my second anniversary, after being told a
number of times by my husband that there would be no more ferrets! Ah,
ferret math strikes yet again!
ABBY, a sable, is my favorite because she is the tiniest ferret we have,
weighing in at just over 1 lb. Abby I think was a trapeze artist in a
previous life. It doesn't matter where we place the remote control or
cell phone or anything like that, Abby can get it. I have actually seen
her fly through the air trying to get whatever it is she's decided she
wants! Abby has managed to climb on top of our entertainment center that
stands at least 4 or 4.5 feet tall. I have seen her on top of a four
level cage, shaking her butt, getting ready to spring onto something else
that is in my opinion just too far for her. Yeah, right!
Sorry this is so long, but how can you possibly say how come these
adorable little creatures are your favorites in anything less than at
least 1000+ words!
