Hi, everyone.  I'm a first time poster.  I've been lurking for a couple of
days and decided it's time to say hello to everyone.
 
Unfortunately, I have to start with a Rainbow Bridge story.  My first
ferret, Furry, was a MF ferret.  She was an adorable albino who was just
absolutely tiny.  About a month ago she started throwing her food on the
floor instead of eating, which of course overjoyed her barking buddy.  She
started being kind of lethargic.  I took her to the vet and they didn't
find anything.  So me and my boyfriend decided maybe she was lonely.  I was
given another MF female albino by someone who just didn't want her anymore.
The two hit it off great.  Furry seemed to perk up for a while.  And Fuzzy
was just the most adorable thing.  But Furry still wasn't eating.  My
boyfriend and I had a disagreement and he wasn't around for a couple days.
Well without her daddy, Furry got ten times worse.  Daddy came home after I
called in hysterics, and we took her to the vet asap(which unfortunately
was the next day).  The vet found a lump in her belly and went in for
exploratory surgery hoping to find that she had just swallowed something.
The vet found a lump in her intestines that she said looked like cancer.  I
decided that I didn't want my baby to suffer anymore, so she never got to
wake up.  My rottweiler hasn't been the same since, especially since fuzzy
won't bite his nose no matter how much he begs.  He even helped dad dig the
hole, and stands guard when he is outside.  I cried for days, and so did
her dad.  We all miss her very much.
 
But on a happier note, we did have another fert enter our lives.  He is a
five year old fixed/descented male, who could really just care less about
what is going on around him.  He isn't full of energy like our Fuzzy, but
he goes nuts once in a while.  He was an I-don't-have-time-for-him
giveaway.  The vet says he seems to be in good health.  But I've noticed
that when he gets excited he gets the hiccups?  Should I be worried about
this?
 
I'd love to know if there are any FMLers from the Toledo, Oh area out
there.
 
Thanx,  Bobbi
 
Fuzzy-Now listen here old man, I was here first and I get the box.  You
sleep in that hat.
Homer-I'm bigger than you and I'll just sleep in mo's bed, when she's
not looking of course.
Sebastian(dog)- Somebody bite my nose, PLEEEAAAASSSSE?
