I guess I should introduce myself since I'm new here, I've already posted once about Beau my missing baby. I wish that I could say he is home and safe with us, but so far we are still waiting. My husband and I have 3 fuzzies including Beau. Daisy is 1 1/2 years old and misses Beau terribly, she has been running around the house looking for him the last week and has taken to sighing a lot lately. My husband and I discussed getting another ferret so she wouldn't be so lonely. I'm sort of having a hard time with it since it feels like we're giving up, but I know in my heart we'll never give up. I don't care how long it takes, if he's alive I'll find him! But if anybody knows of a young-ish ferret who needs a home in the Seattle area let me know. Our other ferret is very special - his name is Jesse and he is deaf. He's a grumpy little old man! Actually he is the sweetest ferret I have ever met, he loves being held & carried around. Our vet loves to see him! But he hates other ferrets, when it comes to them - he's mean! When he was found he was unaltered, and ORANGE! It looked like nobody cared much for him. He probably never even went to a vet! We cleaned him up, but don't think he'll ever be white again. He has the sweetest red eyes that look like they're looking right through you. Of course he is also partially blind too! He sleeps most of the day and eats only soft food prepared for him every couple hours. Beau (I'm going to try not to cry, but I don't think it will work) is our character of the bunch. He loves to dance and dook and he's an ankle grabber. He runs after your legs and grabs them with his arms then slides down and licks your ankle. He loves to crawl into bed with us and lick lick chomp on the insides of our elbows & knees and he loves to groom daddy's head when it's shaved short. He has the begging look down pat! He's so smart, he learned to roll over & play dead right away - anything for craisins! We miss him so much, I have to stop now as I am crying at work, and I don't want to start bawling! Again if anybody hears anything about a found silver mitt in the South Seattle/Renton area, let me know right away! Corynne [Posted in FML issue 3118]
