I would like to get a pattern to crochet, some ferrets sweaters. I do
not knit, I have tried and tried, to learn.

Hercules blew his coat, a few weeks ago. He is alomost bald on his back
across his shoulders. It is growing back, but slow. He did the same
thing last year andit grew back. Hormones? I have been cutting the toes
out of Thom's old socks and cutting holes in them for his front legs.
When I roll the the top of the sock down it makes a cute turtle neck
sweater look. But still not stylish enough for a Prince. I am sure he
would much rather have mommy hand make him some.

PS: Hercules is doing a lot of scratching, when he blew his coat and
now when it is growing back in. I have been rubbing his skin with
vasiline. He loves it. It is non-toxic and he loves the massage. Who
knows maybe it is the back rubs that are stimulating hair growth. I
do not know why he is does this so late in the season. Meanwhile, he
can't go out and play in the snow. At least Pandora, is being nice and
keeping him warm. I also have one of those warming pad in his cage
under his favorite bed. So they are nice and warm. Both Pandora and
Hercules are very independent. There have been squabbles and poofig
at times, but when push comes to shove they bond together as a united
front.. They are both nutered and spayed.
