Hi All..I'm new to FML and want to say how much I appreciate all of you for being so much help to me. I also would like to share the story of Chrissy Eve. Our ferret club received a call from a lady on Christmas Eve 2001 that said a *little creature* was trying to crawl through her doggie door she then called her friend and described what the *little creature* looked like. Her friend said she had just described what he thought might be a ferret and then gave her the number the Circle City Ferret Club in Indianapolis. That's where Cindy and I come in. We called this lady who was having a BIG Christmas dinner and she said come on over...so we did. We were led upstairs to a big dog carrier and the lady said *it's in there* lol. They gave me a flashlight and I looked inside the carrier but all I seen was a tissue box. Then...very slowly this tiny little face peeked out from behind the tissue box and Cindy and I started laughing and said " Yep..it's a ferret". This *creature* turned out to be a stinky little female kit ! The lady's dinner guest come upstairs to see what was going on so Cindy and I took the moment to do a ferret education talk. These were very kind and patient people and did not mind one bit that we crashed their dinner party. I took the kit with me to my home and had every intention of adopting her out ...but..my she stole my heart the moment I seen her. She (along with 15 other fuzzy's) have adopted me and I can't imagine my life without them. Thank you for listening !! pat [Posted in FML issue 4334]
