I'm sorry to hear so many losing fur kids this week, My condolences to you suffering through the hurt. An introduction Ok, I'm a sucker for a furry face.. I have a new co-worker whom has noticed my car license plate, which says "ferrets". He tells me his mother-in-law has ferrets, would I like to see them, He said," They don't do much just sleep." I agree to take a look, muttering under my breath," I can see this now." There were three fuzz kids; cute white female DEW named "Angel", about three years old. There was a sable male named "Loki." He was a chubby guy who just rolled over to see who had the new voice. Then there was ""Lucifer" A four year old chubby guy, with cinnamon coat and a unmarked face. They all had toe nails that almost curled under their feet, none had been out of the cage for seven to eight months. I showed the lady how to clip nails and clean filthy ears. She seemed surprised someone knew about ferrets, about toe nails, and ears, and food.*sigh* The next thing I knew I heard "my" voice asking her If she'd surrender them to me. ACK, I thought, how in the world would I swing yet another cage, another three fuzzy butts, and maybe another play schedule? About that time Loki, the shy one was grooming my left ear-. The bond was there, the deal was set. Thank goodness the lady was surprised Loki was showing affection of any kind. She did recognize they needed care, and love. Off I went three "new" fur kids, (OH Lord, what have I done now..!?) These kids have little muscle tone, but they are so excited to be "out", such play..lol We've been home for several hours, the new kids are duking, playing in tubes, my fishing hat, my jacket, play boxes, they are being ferrets. and they all give kisses, they are just spell bound if you hold and talk to them. Lucifer is now napping in my lap. Angel is STILL playing, Loki is still rolling in the play dish pan. :} It's a good weekend. David & Fuzzy Kids Hey...! Stop by my home page, visit my Ferret kids.
