Shelley,
 
Thank you for posting your "Christmas challenge."  Last year, my husband
and I adopted a special-needs, "unadobtable" quartet from a local ferret
shelter, our brood now up to twelve, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
While it's taking quite a bit more money to keep this group going, due to
extra vet expenses and constant meds, the crew is worth every penny and
we're very glad we've adopted them.  They deserve a good life like everyone
else, special-needs or not :) We love them dearly.  I'm hoping many of our
fellow FMLers will follow suit this Holiday Season--and always.
 
Ferret Kisses,
Laura
