i must apologise for my last posting.  my home modem and delete keys are
a big problem.  perhaps i will redo some of the message that could not
possibly be read.
    i am a new ferret owner, the human to my two 2 year olds, little
ferret, chocolate sprite, and big ferret, standard sable sprite.  my
friend gave them to me before he moved to wash. state.  before i
recieved them, however, i was well on the way to owning a baby ferret
from the MASKeters.  therefore now i have three.  introduction was not a
problem, i just let them wonder around the room together, supervised,
until they got along.  no problem.  the MASKeteers ferret, a cute sable
male, bartok (after the composer), tokkie for short, imediatly took to
teaching the two girls where the litter box was.  they are slowly
learning.  *sigh*  but learning none the less.
    i have an appointment today for little to get an operation.  she had
a swolen vulva ever since my friend bought them from someone else,
...that's almost a year!  my vet could not believe it.  he said that he
is surprised that she is not dead by now.  since the problem has gone on
for so long, is there more risk in the proceedings of the operation?
how are her chances of puling through ok?  i am worried, i just obtained
her and am so atached already.  alan, the friend in wash. did not know
that something was wrong, he just thought that she was born that way.
 
i hope she pulls through,
ja, big, little, and bartok (a.k.a. Jaws)
