Hello to all, This is George and Grizzly's owner Alison. I have posted here more than a few times. I would just like you all to know that my parents have taken in 2 ferrets that weren't taken out of their cage very often, were 2 years old, NEVER to the vet, and that were fed cat food because the lady never took time to find them proper food. (And my parents wouldn't let me have any ferrets when I lived here!) They got them on Feb. 27th. The female is a dark-eyed albino. The male a coon colored (forgot the color name) We ALL found out the first day that Stevie is a biter. She bit me twice while going to put her water dish in (she didn't wanna let go) She got my mom in the face when she was down on the floor (she was hanging off as my mom was getting up) and she bit my dad on the hand. All in the same day. She is alot better now about biting. She got her name from me actually. My mom really likes Stevie Knicks. She has wanted to call a couple of the animals that and we've diswayed her from it. I mentioned to my dad saying that I thought it was funny that she hadn't called her that yet. Dad talked to mom and that's all it took! (Darn!) Stevie got sick a couple of days ago (not sure what it was, she had swollen glands, sore thorat, and was shaking) and is now on medicine. She's trying to fight back. No matter how much they may bite or fight, you can tell that their new owners love those fuzzies dearly and I'm glad that they are in such a good home now. We have realized though, that they are not MF ferrets. There are NO tattoos in their ears whatsoever. Doc is very lovable, he's a big gallout just like George. But he seems more calm and laid back than my 'monster' George and Grizzly had their first playdate with the 2. It was on Saturday. Doc and Stevie were more than willing to gang up on George and Gizzy. I felt so bad. (Maybe George and Grizzly found out there not top ferts anymore?) Also when we had to put them away in their 'condo' (Thanks to Candi!) they all ended up sleeping together. My dad and I have a yet another play date with Kim and Wendall's fuzzies on the 17th of this month. Even more ferts for Sammy, Luke and Camile. It should be interesting with 3 different sets of ferrets to watch. Being the PROUD owner that I am, I decided to post my pictures of George and Grizzly on the web. This is the website you can go to. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/spoo_13/lst?&.dir=/Alison%27s+Album &.src=ph.view=t.view=t&.last=1 [Moderator's note: Doesn't work for me, says it's restricted area. BIG] Is there anyone who has a suggestion how I could get my photo into a contest for judging. I like the one of Grizzly in the camera, and I think it would be interesting to see what other people think too?? Any comments can be sent to [log in to unmask] I had to answer the phone this moring just as I was getting dressed. Trying to get into my pants, George couldn't help but attack my feet. He's such a nut, he even got Gizzy interested and she tried to attack my feet too. Well that's all the nutty stories I have for now. Have some more in about a week or so!
