A policeman brought her to the tanning salon I was managing and it was
love at first sight. I gave him $100 and took my prize home. No ferret
experience, zippo. I soon found out she didn't know the difference
between a mouse, rat (which I knew they ate and hunted) but I was
gerbil sitting. I made the mistake of leaving the gerbil cage on the
floor and went to put on my makeup, Sydney always watched, it seemed
to fascinate her. I looked around and there was no Sydney so I went
looking for her. I found her in the gerbil cage sitting on the gerbil
trying to smother it. I gave her a good scolding and thought the gerbil
would be alright. It was still breathing while I held it in the palms
of my hands while I begged it not to die. It seems Sydney had already
done the damage and the little baby passed away in my hands. I couldn't
get mad at Sydney for me being stupid, so I bought a gerbil for the
kids next door. Then there was the time I completely lost Sydney and
found her in the fridge. You see she loved Kool aid. She had cherry
kool aid everywhere, she was sticky, the inside of the fridge was red.
I thought the whole thing was hysterical, that is when I knew she was
the love of my life.

Since Sydney passed away there have been 48 ferrets pass thru my heart
and each took their piece and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I
still have 4, Rhett (Mine), Max, Veronica & Archie, when they go I am
sure there will be a ferret out there that needs my love.

That is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Love for All
