Hello, my name is Jasper and I am a 5 1/2 yr old Sable male. About a month ago, my companion Teeka died of Cancer and I have been sad and lonely ever since. My humans give me lots and lots of attention, but it isn't the same as having a ferret friend. My humans finally decided that it was time to let me find a new friend to play with, so I hope someone out there can help me. Teeka was the only companion I ever had, so I think I would like to find another little girl. I am pretty active for my age, but I don't think I could handle a baby girl, so maybe someone around 2 years or older.... I like to play chase in my tubes, wrestle around a little and of course take long snuggly naps. My humans "ferret proofed" two rooms of their apartment to run around in, so we would never be caged up. We get lots of good food and all the clean cold water we can drink. Sometimes I think they are a little skimpy on the treats, but they tell me it isn't good to snack too much. The humans speak: Hello, as we have reported in the past, or little Teeka died of Cancer about a month ago. Jasper has been handling it fairly well, but we really think he is lonely. We play a lot with him, but lets face it, we can't play with him like another ferret would.... The only ferret Jasper has lived with has been a female, so we think we better stick to a girl. Jasper is pretty active, but at his age, we think a kit would be a little much, so probably no one younger than 2ish.... Unfortunately we could not take on a ferret with significant health problems or special needs. In just the past year, Jasper had adrenal gland surgery and we battled Teeka's cancer. Financially, we just couldn't handle on going problems. Of course if something un-expected came up, we would find a way, we always do our best for our fur kids.... We live in Sidney, Montana which is in the NE corner of the State. We would be willing to travel a fair distance to pick up our new friend, but we are not willing to have the little one "shipped." Thanks for your help, Brett, Missy and Jasper Lapham [Posted in FML issue 3590]
