Well, been living two weeks in Oregon and I have four job offers after nothing for 8 months in CA. And! I have a ferret again. I can take him with me everywhere. He can go in the windows, I can tell people I have a ferret. "Phfft!" to CA. My new fellow is a light sable male. He was found in the wilderness almost dead. He had big patches of fur missing, covered with fleas and starved. He is now very happy, healthy and has all his fur back. He is very gentle, no nipping at all. On the first day he sle[pt in my lap, today he dragged his nap-sack under my pillow and moved in there. I spent the day sewing him blankies, nap-sacks, hammocks and a ferret carry sack. He has an appointment with the local paper, the Chamber of Commerce, and the local pet store. They all want to meet him. Then he has an appointment with the Vet for his shots and another check-up (and for me to check this Vet out to see if he is good enough for out little guys.) Alls well here in Southern Oregon.
