After a long absence from the list, I have resubscribed (finally!).  I
too remember stories about the lives of BIG, Rosie and Maxie, Missouri
Bob, Tater and Odie, and MeeMaw and PawPaw.  One story about a baby ferret
that climbed Gods robes and spoke to Him comes to mind.  I think it was a
Christmas story.  Anyway, after all this time, I am very happy to be a
part of the FML once again.
 
This past spring, I lost my oldest fert, Rocky (he was one of the
best--truly).  He joined his cagemates Ever and Flower (my first)across
the Bridge.  Rocky was 9 years old.  I grieved long and hard.  Then in
late August I began to feel ready to experience ferret-love again.  On
Sunday, Oct. 28th, I adopted Brutus from the GCFA (thank you thank you
thank you).  His picture remains on their site (www.gcfa.com)I love him
very much already!!  What a great guy!
 
I completely identify with the poster who felt lucky to be owned by a
ferret.  I'm grateful to have been allowed the opportunity!  Looking
forward to your stories, advice, and friendship!
