Why Did I pick ferrets? The answer for me is.........I didn't, A ferret picked me! Our 1st ferret was found in our front yard by my daughter and her dog - Wthin a week "Stinky" had cast a spell over me that I don't think I will ever overcome - We sadly lost Stinky earlier this summer - He died suddenly - It was terrible - My 1st reaction was to never put myself through that agian - But within a week I knew what I had to do.....Stinky wanted me to get another ferret - We "rescued" our little Jr. from the pet shop - He is my baby - My children are jealous - He is now 7 months old - Then we heard on the news that they had a ferret at the pound so we went and adopted him the next day - His name is Slim due to the fact he was skin and bones when we got him - Now he is Fat Boy Slim and he ad his little brother Jr. love each other and I love them!!!!!!!!! They are magical creatures!! Mindy, Jr., Fat Boy Slim, and Stinky watching over us all....enjoying the show!!!!! [Posted in FML issue 2927]
