I think like, a friend of mine, that there is a kind of ... "soul mate ferret" for each of us? I had one. It was Jubliee. Now was she my favorite? Not in all respects. I remember my first ferret with the greatest of love and admiration. And I love my Serendipity now as if she were one of my human children. I love want to bite her toes and kiss her belly, and ............ ok well anyway.... I had a soul mate ferret.... that was Jubilee Spirit. Without her I feel like part of me is gone.
