Hi all, My husband and I are the proud new Mommy and Daddy of a sweet little (and I do mean little) sable named Bear. Thank you Stephanie for posting about Bear needing a new home and for recommending us to Christine. Bear and Gabby (our current 2 year old male sable) aren't best friends yet but it hasn't been all out war either so we're very hopeful that it will just take time. Now, I have a couple of questions for you more experienced people about Bear. Gabby is Marshall Farms so we're quite familiar with the two dots in the ear. I didn't notice anything like that on Bear. He is a pet store ferret though. Any idea what other farm he could be and what markings to look for? Also, when Bear was going in the litter box last night I noticed that rather than having two separate spots of urine and feces, the two were in the same area. I also noticed that Bear doesn't seem to have a belly button which has us thinking he's a she. Does anyone know of any pictures that we can look at to be positive? I haven't examined his underbelly too in detail but there was no belly button in the usual spot but further back by "his" butt there was sort of a belly button looking thing. Is he a she or is his equipment just in a different spot than our other boy's? Thanks to anyone who can give us any info. Liz Gabby (Hi, who are you?) Bear (Grrr, go away!) [Posted in FML issue 3061]
