There's a petstore here in sarasota that *isn't* one of the evil, awful ones, that has two fuzzies in right now that have been there for at least a few months--there's one i'd absolutely take home if i could (but number ten--if we get a number ten--is going to be a shelter fert or a rescue, plain and simple). anyway, the two older ones are probably in the 5-6 month range--maybe a bit older, and one is a dark brown sable with a chocolatey nose that i just want to eat right up, and the other is a HUGE silver blaze/mitt... he's a total doll when you first pick him up, but once you get him riled he's a ball of energy the likes of which i've rarely seen. he's really pretty, and really really spiffy... i highly recommend him! they're not going to be shipped back to marshall's or anything if they're not bought (the owner assured me of that, and i trust him), but they're getting sooo big... they need a home. if anyone in the area is looking for a new addition... i dont' want the silver to get get bought and end up getting out, or in a shelter--or worse at animal control, simply because he's so rambunctious and hyper (and nippy when he's playing, but not a true biter)... and i don't want any ill fortune to come to him. there's also a beautiful girl-weezil there, about 11-12 weeks old now prolly--silver panda... the first half of her tail is silver, the second half is white. it's adorable. i'm surprised she *hasn't* been bought-- but the big guys just can't compare to the tiny little kits to your average store-shopper, so i thought i'd tip you guys off. -kat (i'd take 'em all home, if i could). ===== ,',', __ \ `'`,/ \ ()o=; `'`','`/ . \/ / ( / \" / \(_ \(_ ferrets may nip, but people just suck.
