Hagens get (or at least were getting in the recent past) an "H" in one ear and an X or a Y (for gender) in the other. The X or Y is a much lighter tattoo and can fade away completely (the pet store where I got Amelia, a Hagen girl, told me that they do the gender tattoo to sort them for the proper operations). Both tattoos fade to a turquoise or greenish-blue color from their original blueish black, so it sounds likely to me that the first person (not Sukie) has a Hagen ferret. Her general description also brought back fond memories of little baby Amelia. She loved as fiercely as she played :) Regina Regina Harrison [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] http://www.channel1.com/users/regina/ blog: http://www.channel1.com/users/regina/zblog.html Is that my business? Well, what is my business? Do I know? Did I ever know? Let s not go into that. You re not human tonight, Marlowe. Maybe I never was or ever will be... Maybe we all get like this in the cold half-lit world where always the wrong thing happens and never the right. --Raymond Chandler, The Little Sister [Posted in FML issue 3803]
