Hello, my name is Tanya and (head hung low) I am a ferretaholic. yep it happened, last November I purchased our first two ferrets as a birthday present for my 16 yr old who had been arguing the fact that they wern't vicious little rodents as I thought. I immediately fell in love with them. Then in January we added a cinnimon and albino to our family and we thought our family was complete dispite everyones warning of (FERRET MATH) Last month My son came home with a 5 week old blaze from petco and I gave him a stern warning NO MORE FERRETS!!! Well some of my best friends run a rescue shelter and I go visit for a few days everymonth and on one visit I fell in love with a little silver that played fetch..........Ya I did it, I asked for her,...... the answer was Only if you also take her cage mate. ok that's two more. I left them with her so I could go home and buy a cage and bottles and things. She E-mailed that thier 2 best friends would be soooo depressed if I didn't take them along as well, She said she would continue to cover thier medical charges for the 2 (best friends) if I took all 4 girls! Wow! I thought about it and talked to the hubby who said I'm out of control!! (laugh) and well.......drum roll please...... I'm proud to announce the addition of four new girls Flower, Belle, faith and haley :) Well that makes 9 and once again I said NO MORE FERRETS. I dont want to get in over my head. Someone stop me please..... Is there a F.A. (ferretaholics meetings) I could be attending. All joking aside I love my babies to death and I actually look forward to the duck soup feedings for Mikey my recovering adrenal. I definetly didnt know what I was in for last November when we got our first 2 but I can honestly say they have improved my life and I smile ALOT more. I would love to hear from any other ferretaholics out there...maybe we could start a support group. :) [Posted in FML issue 3045]
