My new ferret, Eris, is a mitted/bibbed sable with red eyes. I thought it was weird as hell when I got her. (For those not on the FOB list -- Dervish has a sister! A girl in my apartment complex needed to get rid of her ferret, so I volunteered to adopt. My boyfriend named her Eris after the goddess of Discord -- she's a major troublemaker! Dervish is absolutely thrilled; they play together, eat together, snuggle together, and are probably plotting together to take over the world.) And in reference to the "happy thoughts" post: my bathroom and closet doors are high enough for the ferrets to slip under them. I had a male friend over for the first time a week or so ago, and he was using the bathroom when I heard a shout. Seems both the weasels had silently snuck in and startled the hell out of him! -(TX) Meghan, plus Dervish and Eris -- Site, personal: http://nettrash.com/users/meghan Site, bodyart: http://www.bmeworld.com/meghan [Posted in FML issue 3244]
