Dooks to all...And warm blessings to those who have lost furry (and not so furry) friends. Well, last Monday, I went to get a surrender (Frisco) and came home to find Miss Harri dying. Well, this Monday, I buried my grandmother and wound up picking up *another* surrender. This one was owned by (and no offense intended to those in college) a pair of "college stupids" as one ex called them. These two certainly fit the bill. They went out--on the spur of the moment, of course--and bought the cutest little 10 week old little cinnamon boy. The manager of the pet store *told* them to keep him in--deep breath--an AQUARIUM!!! Arrrrgh! Only one semi-good point here, at least they didn't have him in shavings. Aquarium rock are almost as bad, but not as bad as the shavings--I think. I've lost the post, but vaguely remember someone posting about getting the names and addresses of stores like this. Please email me privately since I would *love* to stomp on this store. We won't even go into the food they were feeding (Kaytee Forti-Diet--ugh!) The new baby came home, got a nail clipping, a dose of FerretVite and Laxatone, to which I almost lost a finger! I'm guessing he's never tasted the stuff, but Bilbo (as he has been dubbed) certainly liked it enough to try and bite my finger off. That was another complaint--besides no time--that he had bitten both of them hard enough to draw blood. Well, I'm off to bed. It's been a *reeeeeeally* long day.

(missing Harri) Trying to explain ferret math to a non ferret owner is like trying to explain Physics to a 3 year old. [Posted in FML issue 3551]
