Hi all! I live in Des Moines, IA and am a proud furbaby addict. I have seen several people walking their ferrets around a popular park in the area so we are here. I agree we tend to keep low profiles, but I believe that's true about Iowans in general. At one point I was looking to adopt an adult ferret to keep my Frodo (and human family) company, but I couldn't find any at our local shelters and the closest ones I could find were quite a drive. But I will take that as good news! Anyways, I don't post that often but I find the advice from the FML helpful and enjoy reading stories posted here so thank you all! Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!
