Hello, everyone!
 
        I am a lurker, and this is my first time posting.  I have been
readiing for about a month now, and I enjoy the FML to no end.  I live in
Montgomery County, Maryland, and I need some advice.
 
        I owned a ferret a litlle while back.  My parents had me sell her
because she *stank*.  She was a Marshall Farms ferret (silver mitts female,
age ten wks.), and the people at the pet store told me that "*all* ferrets
stink for the first, oh, I'd say, first year".  So I believed them.  And after
a couple weeks, my parents couldn't stand her anymore, so I had to sell her
:(.  I am currently ferret-less and depressed (double the :( ).
 
        Anyway I should stick to the point.  I was wondering if anyone had any
way to keep your ferret(s) completely or virtually odor-free.  I would
appreciate *any* comments or advice (I am really desperate!).
 
        Thanks a million to all who can respond.  Happy Holidays to everyone
out there, lurkers or otherwise.
 
                                                Yours truly,
 
                                                        Carinne Prest
