Hi all, Well unfortunately yes I did. When I first got Sassy she was about 7-8 weeks old. I got her from a pet store. (I know, I should have adopted. That is what I plan on doing the next time. But I was unaware of ferret shelters then.) Anyway, I will admit she didn't have the most pleasant smell too her. Over time the odor has just grown on me (maybe that's b/c she likes to sleep in my clothes hee hee) I couldn't believe how adorable she was! My parents on the other hand couldn't believe why I ever wanted her. Mom thought she smelled like a skunk & was scared of her. Dad thought she looked like a rodent. Well, after seeing Sassy's dooks & dances Mom finally came around. She even said that if she had the time she would get one!!! I might add that this did take almost a year. She only seen us on holidays & during the summer though b/c Sassy & I was off at college. Dad on the other hand never has came around. But he still doesn't understand why I let a German Shepherd & a GS mix live in my house. I agree with you I felt hurt that someone else didn't instantly fall in love w/ this adorable little fuzzy butt. But I guess not all people are fuzzies lovers. There must be something wrong with them lol! Tiffany & Sassy [Posted in FML issue 3521]
