A couple weeks before the symposium we happen to be in a petstore. They had recently gotten in a new shipment of kits and as usual we checked on them. There was a tiny blaze girl that was wobbly and wide eyed but not eating. I requested the food be moistened, which it was and she still wouldn't eat or even lap at the liquid. I tried finger feeding her and she wouldn't eat so we tried the Marshalls food and again she wouldn't eat even moistened. I asked that they watch her closely and we left.... a few miles down the road I turned to Nancy and quietly said "should we go back for her?". Nancy drove a little ways then pulled off the road. We talked about it a few minutes then turned around and went back to the store. I walked in the store and told the clerk I wanted the little girl. He smiled and said "I'm glad she'll have a good home"..... Last night Weebles had her official vet visit. She's been officially diagnosed as being deaf. AND Larry (our vet) was quite smitten with her. She was very calm in his arms and coyly played under the cage as he smilingly watched her. Talk about charm and self-assurance! This morning as I was feeding Wannabe I watched her play tube tag with 5 of the big kids. Goodness, the little vixen even has them enthralled! Hugs to all. tle Troy Lynn Eckart Ferret Family Services http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~sprite/ffs.html http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Haven/5481/ Please sign up to support our charity http://www.iGive.com/html/ssi.cfm?cid=46&mid=58395 [Posted in FML issue 3695]
