While I posted this to another small ferret oriented list, I thought this should be shared. Given the number of sad stories on this list, I thought people might like to hear a happy one: I've been corresponding with a person from a programming list who was very interested in ferrets, especially after he saw our ferretcam (http://www.ferretnoir.com). I've been pointing him to the ferretcentral.org faq etc and other information sources regarding ferrets. Well I get this note this morning from him and just had to share it: Larry, I found 2 that are a year old I am picking them up Saturday. The people I am getting them from Have given them there shots for this year and have given so much info about how to care and keep them happy. The 2 I am getting were dumped in a trash can. He says they are very loving, but do not like to be alone so I need to take the 2 so they have company. I went to see them the female came up and started licking my cheek. I think this is a start of a great friendship. I found a 24 vet and a regular vet because the 24hr vet is really expensive, but they are there if I need them.. The female's name is Wendy and The boys name is Casper.. I thought that was great. I think I am going to be very happy with them.. Steve. -- That's a great way to end a morning. larry -- Larry C.
