Hey Gang!! I haven't posted in a while, in fact I haven't read the FLM much as of lately just been too busy with the furbrats of mine!!! Ok We now have a real live ferret room!!! Ok so most of you have ferret rooms already but we just had them in two bedrooms until daughter #1 moved out...and we were off!!! the carpet came out and particle board and new lino went in!! Cove base, fresh paint (pink..long story but the lil girls voted it in...) and new blinds (on order) and Voila...a Ferret Room!! I made a plywood half door for air circulation and we were in business... and ferret math hit us right between the eyes...LOL What is it that says if ya get a ferret room ya gotta have more ferrets?? It was as if 22 weren't enough, no we will have 26 by the time all of it ends...WOW!! No I AM NOT A COLLECTOR but I guess ya couldn't tell it by the numbers. I still have the ferrets that my niece left me with plus my own and then a co-worker asked me ( and you all know where this is going right?) if I would take another lil male ferret. this ferret was supposedly found loose and was returned to a Petco store here in Reno. I dunno much about how or where but we ended up with a very cute,big eyed, Brown nosed chocolate point male fret in need of a dentist!! Well after two visits to the vet and alot of time feeding soup and meds he is up and doing much better. Oh well... There are three more ferrets "in the wings" so to speak that are comming soon to the ferret room nearest us...heheheheheheh.. and that will make it 26..Well at least these three are very healthy and have had all of their shots ect ect ect.. Such is life but then they are ferrets and ya gotta love em!! Oh and by the way..I got the basic designs for our ferret room from Carole and from Sue both of Virginia. I stole it from looking at their ferret rooms ...heheheheheheh. I mean I "borrowed" the basic designs from these fine ferret folks while I toured their ferret facilities... We are going back to Va Bch again in December for another visit with Carole...and to eat Edy's Ice Cream. I hope to make it to the ferret Symposium in Las Vegas in Febuary of next year...hope to meet alot of you there... After All It Is for the ferrets!! Fred Hurd Reno Nevada. [Posted in FML issue 3552]
