Everyone who knows me on here knows how much I want to get my fuzzies. I could have them right now but I don't because I want to make sure I have evrything they could ever need or want first. I posted a rather personal message a few days ago about the possibility of me being pregnant. I was very upset because we could not afford to get ferrets if we had another baby. I was very upset and was looking for maybe a little encouragement. You know like 'oh, it wont be forever, you'll still get them someday' or something like that. A lot of people come on here for ferret related comforting. But what did I get when I opened my email? People telling me it's my fault, I must not be taking birth control, and acosting me of being an irresponcable person and ferret mom. I am shocked to say the least. Sad that people keep jumping in with critisism without even knowing what they are critisising! No I am not on birth control, wanna know why? Because I have had severe reactions to every kind of birth control! I've even bee n hospitalized because of some of them! And just because vet's will sterilize as soon as possible, doesn't mean human doctors do. My husband is 23 and not many doctors will streilize that young even though we do NOT want anymore kids and I medically cannot use conventional birth control. We were not even going to get the ferrets before we found a doc who would do the procedure, I never mentioned that here because I never dreamed I would have to! I can not believe that people will stoop to attacking someone elses pain! A heartfelt thankyou to those who DID send words of encouragement!
