I dearly love ferrets and so I am collecting all the information I can about them. I'm hoping, someday, I might be able to have one (or two or a dozen) of these lovely creatures. I can't at the moment because I live in California. Granted, people here do have ferrets, but I want to make absolutely certain that, if I do own ferrets, I won't have to live in fear of my neighbors finding out. It would break my heart if I got ferrets and they were taken away because of some unkind or ignorant person. Anyway, I am enjoying all your tales of your fur babies -- and I am terribly sorry to hear about the ones that needed to cross the Bridge; especially the person who lost several ferrets in one day due to a neighbor's stupidity and carelessness. Sue that idiot, please. It won't bring your ferrets back, but it might teach her a needed and deserved lesson. I am posting this anonymously just in case I change my mind and follow my heart to ferret ownership before the laws change.
