Merry Christmas everyone!  I have been looking at-and getting very
attached to-a ferret at Earl May for about 3 1/2 months.  She's about 8
months old and I named her Gypsy.  I went in at least twice a week to see
her, and I offered them $100 for her (priced at $149 on sale) and they
said they can't go below $125.  I coulnd't afford to buy her until
tomorrow, and I went there Tuesday.  A man (I think a manager) said a
woman was looking at her the night before.  I said I was planning on
buying her but I didn't get paid until the 24th.  He said he'd rather see
her go to me and wrote out a "sold" tag with my name, sold for $125, and
that I'd pick her up on Christmas Eve.  I was so excited!  I went there
today and there she was, for $159, for sale again!  I asked the saleswoman
what was going on.  She said there was a woman there last night who was
going to buy her but she couldn't because Gypsy was sold to me.  So today
they're trying to sell her!  I was beyond mad, I was furious.  But IF
Gypsy is still there tomorrow, I can buy her for $150.  How nice of them.
The man I spoke to wasn't there today.  Is there anything I can do if they
sell her to someone else?  I cried when I got home, I'm so upset.  Anyway,
I hope all of you and your fuzzies are doing well and have a great
holiday.  Ferret hugs to all!
