Incredibly, when we were in to help Zorro cross the bridge, I asked offhand how much we had spent over the years. They actually had that information. In only the last 7 years we have spent $15,000!!! That is not a typo. Not all on ferrets of course, but a goodly amount of that was. Mister seems so lonely in a huge cage alone. I guess I will have to hook up with a shelter soon to find a companion for him, although I am so shell-shocked by the last year that I am not sure I can take it anymore. Still, life goes on.
