Hello Everyone,
I thought since everyone was introducing themselves I might as well do the
same.  I became a ferret mom this past March of 1997.  My boyfriend brought
Ferrethead home and he had no intentions of keeping him.  Well that's what
he thought.  He should of known the minute he brought him home he was
mine!!!!  Well needless to say Ferrethead is still with us.  Ferrethead is a
1 1/2 yr. old neutered male silver mitt.
 
This past September 1997, Ferrethead got out through the screen door as I
was going to hang laundry on the clothes line....it was getting dark and he
crept right by me.  I was so devastated and thought I'd never see him again
or he may die.  Well about 24 hours later in the rain my boyfriend came home
and there was Ferrethead sitting on the porch sopping wet waiting for
someone to let him in.  He also brought home a few friends.........fleas &
ticks.  Not my most favorite thing in the world to deal with.  So off to the
vet we went to make sure he was ok.  In the meantime while he was out
gallivanting and I was praying he would come home to me I was looking for a
playmate on the internet.  Well I found Barb Carlsons web page and she put
me in contact w/ Gina Hart and she put me in contact w/ 3 Ferrets Rescue in
Pittsburgh.  So I called and they had 2 that were not to be separated.  Well
needless to say that's where I got chloe and Jerry.  Chloe is an albino of
about 3 years old she is a spayed female.  Jerry is a Black sable spayed
female that is about 2.
 
Well now we had playmates of an odd number and sometimes we had one that was
left out at playtime.  So Gina told me Barb had another ferret, So I emailed
her and picked up Champ about 2 weeks later.  He is an albino neutered male.
A big boy!!  I call him my little fat boy and he just waddles over to me!!
 
So now we have four little monsters terrorizing the house besides our 3 year
old!!  And I love these fuzzy butts just as if they were my kids.  You can
see them at

Kelly and her fuzzbutt crew!
