Hagens get (or at least were getting in the recent past) an "H" in one ear
and an X or a Y (for gender) in the other.  The X or Y is a much lighter
tattoo and can fade away completely (the pet store where I got Amelia, a
Hagen girl, told me that they do the gender tattoo to sort them for the
proper operations).  Both tattoos fade to a turquoise or greenish-blue
color from their original blueish black, so it sounds likely to me that
the first person (not Sukie) has a Hagen ferret.  Her general description
also brought back fond memories of little baby Amelia.  She loved as
fiercely as she played :)

I never was or ever will be... Maybe we all get like this in the cold
half-lit world where always the wrong thing happens and never the right.
