Hi everyone, long time no speak. For anyone that even remembers who I am, I lost one of my ferret buddies in August. First time I'd ever experienced this first hand, and to be honest - it sucked donkey parts. I mean big time. Never thought I'd be affected so badly my losing one of me mates, but well - it sucks. All I wanted to do was avoid ferret people, places and ferrets for the longest time. Do you know what I mean? I fed, looked after and cleaned the remaining 8 furrats, but - something just wasn't there anymore. I'm better now though, but many a person (non-ferret people) thought I was strange for taking the loss of Hattie so hard. Guess they don't get it do they? Heck - I didn't really get it till it happened... she was only 2 and a lil' bit. (No - I didn't get an autopsy done - couldn't bear the thought of it. I know I know - but I just couldn't do it...) Anyway - enough about that. On to the reason for my post. Has anyone had any recent dealings with Corner Creek Acres?? I just called them, and frankly - there's no way in heck I want to give them the $250 I was prepared to pay them for a new cage now. I'll go elsewhere. I just called their number, which is freely posted on www.cornercreek.com It's not a secret number - searching in any search engine will bring it up. A woman answered. I said "Hello, my names Emma, I'm calling you from Ohio regarding a cage." She said "Call back on Monday." I said, "I just want a catalogue, could I just leave my address?" I didn't think that was rude, but she came back with "Maybe you don't understand - I'll hang up, you can call back again and I can ignore your call?" and then she hung up... WTF? If Sundays are a bad day to call - maybe they should mention that on their webpage? I like their cages - but there's no way I'm giving her any money now. I already have one of their cages - if this is the way they (and yeah - I know it wasn't the guy that runs the operation that answered, but if that was his wife then maybe he ought to train her a bit better in phone etiquette?) treat return customers, it's time to go somewhere else. So - any ideas? I want a multilevel cage, with that nice "attic" type roof the CCA cages have, and a couple of litter pans built in. Has to hold 8 frats. I'd appreciate any ideas - and if the CCA guy is reading this, maybe you need to have a chat with the missus before you go out of business? >;o) Thanks, Emma [Posted in FML issue 3655]
