Just a quickie People have been writing to say how lovely Maria is now in the pictures under the category of friends at extremeweezil.com The fully furred sharp eyed silver mitt with the fluffy white bib with a yellow basket behind her is not Maria. That is the Tazmanian devil girl that was not socialized, and kept in a wire cage with no bedding, toys, and had fleas and ear mites, etc. That is a little biter-stinker-screamer. Mini-Me. Mini-Me has been very bad--biting the ferrets by the side of their faces to become the alpha ferret. I thought my old guy had cancer there. The sore would appear. I would clean it, get him in for blood tests. The sore would reappear and reappear. I had just made another vet appointment --thinking this MUST be some kind of cancer. The first blood tests could be wrong. We need a biopsy. nope. Just the terible Miss Mini-Me. Biting poor Cheyene in the face with her little dagger teeth. Sunny Rhino Mudd and Lovely have also been bitten there by her. So far-she has been kind to Maria. She gently pushes her around. And Maria seems to enjoy herself with another diminuative female. But the lovely fluffy silver mitt beauty is not Maria. Maria is now a little brown mole with a white bib. [Posted in FML issue 3502]
