Greetings to all in the fml
 
We have been very busy here at Coffee Creek.  Our youngest "own" ferret
Herman had to have his spleen removed.  It was hugemongus.  The doctor
said it weighed in over 8 ozs.  That is pretty big in proportion to a
ferret body, just ask Herman.  The surgeon used surgical glue to close
the incision so he can still wear a speedo this summer, lol.  He is doing
so much better now, after surgery, two weeks of antibiotics and a great
big bunch of tlc.
 
We also got a new little older lady, we named her Polly.  She had been
poorly treated and we are having a bit of trouble getting her to play
with anyone.  She mostly wants us to hold her and she kisses our
arms,hands or face.  If you sit her down she sits pretty much where you
put her until you come back.  The woman that gave her up didn't have a
name for her.  She said that mostly she stayed in a cage and that she
didn't have time for her.  I am not sure about anything she said because
Polly doesn't seem to know what to do with the ramp in her new cage or
her hammock.  Also she drinks a lot of water.  She is on her way to
visit the vet, as of course she hasn't had any vaccinations ever.  As
close at the woman could figure she is about 8 years old.  She will NOT
play with any other ferret at all.  Any advice on how to get her to play
with anything or anybody would be helpful.
 
Sincerely
Kim and the gang from Coffee Creek
