My husband didn't at first love ferrets; he just loved me.  Sounds
familliar, right?  The fur kids were my engagement gift and wedding gift.
Things changed though when Dook-N-Dance, a ferret rescue in NC, brought
seven fuzzies to our apartment for us to look at and see who got along
with the other fuzzies, cat, and dog.
 
He was sitting on the floor, watching for accidents in the hallway, when
a chocolate male named Loki crawled up in his lap, layed down, and just
stayed there.  Instantly, "I want this one." I was shocked to say the
least.  He always left all the ferrety stuff to me.  Linda, Jane, and I
looked at each other and smiled; he was finally hooked.  Loki stayed.
