My first ferret was a sable with a mask. At that time most of the ferrets had masks and it seemed that everybody named their ferret Bandit, so I named mine Mischief.Then came Critter, because she had been abused she was quite a biter when I got her.After that was Slinky. Of course there was a Snoopy because she was. There was Sprite, because she seemed to be a mischievous little imp. Spook got her name because she was an albino who had been pretty nearly starved to death and she was almost a Spook when I rescued her. After that came Splash, her name came from the fact that she was mostly white with gray spots that made her look like she'd been splashed with gray paint. Last, but not least is Squirt. When she was a baby and even now she just kind of tries to "squirt" out of my hands. Please pray for Splash, she's in the last stages of insulinoma. She's choosing not to eat and since she's 8 years old I'm respecting her choice and not force feedig her. Please no flames. If she appears to be suffering I will help her across the Rainbow bridge. I'm up 2 to 3 times during the night or if I hear her up. I offer her warm duck soup off from my finger. I've got a hot water bottle in her cage to keep her warm. Right now she's sleeping most of the time. Again, please no flames my heart is already broken at the thought of loosing her. Polly, Spalash, and Squirt [Posted in FML issue 2944]
