I already got one message --- I'm sure there are more to come.... I guess I left out a sentence in my post. I definitely did NOT return my deaf ferret. That was the reason for the =BD credit. They would have given full credit if I returned him and I know what would have happened to him next ;-( I wouldn't consider returning him even if they hadn't offered to credit me. When I went to the store for supplies, I mentioned that "Flower" (what the kids that work in the store named him, because he looked like a reverse skunk) was deaf --- the told me about the credit. He's loveable and wonderful and I would NEVER consider giving him back! He's a fun part of the family and his deafness doesn't do much more than make him miss a few treats and hugs since Katie and Matt can hear mom going for the "cookie jar".... Sorry for any confusion!
