I just want to introduce myself. My name is Lynn, I live in Pottsville PA, just moved here from Sterling VA. I have 10 ferrets whom I love very much. Their names are : Taz, Jack, Sharkie, Jill, Chance, Baby, Bandit, Sheba, Bright Eyes. I have been using the Ferret Store Board for about a year now and I've met many wonderful people, and have made many friends. I am looking to find others in my area, PA who are ferret owners, so we can get together with our ferrets and talk. 7e ages of my ferrets range from 8 months old to 2 years old. I use to always look at ferrets in pet stores but walked away because I had an Akita dog who would have literally eaten them. Our Akita had to be put down last May and I was very loney without her, as we had her for 9 years. My husband then oneday brought home this little, cute, weasel looking animal. I just looked at it and said nothing. He put him down and at this point he did the "weasel war dance, or the dance of joy", and I lost it laughing, at that moment I fell in love. I started with one and just keep growing and growing and growing. I never in my wildest dreams thought such a small animal could love me so much, but I was wrong because they show me so much love, sometimes I think more so than my dog did. I just wanted to share my story and see if they are others in PA who love ferrets as much as I do. Any one is free to email me at [log in to unmask] as I love meeting others who love ferrets, and I'd like to make many ferret friends. That's about it for me, hope to talk to you soon.
