The ferret you read about from dbones --SKIPPY-- is one of the ferrets from DM,s horror barn. He either was injured or hurt and is now partially paralyzed, He was tossed off in a corner to die. Thank God, there was someone there--Lori Sies -- to see hi predicament and bring him home to her shelter and thankfully into our home. He now knows warmth and safety and cool-not frozen - water. He knows love and sleeping in our arms. He gets carried around and warm baths when he cant make it to the litter pan. We also have a gorgeous little girl who has has litters of babies. She has bonded with Skippy and has learned to be a ferret. I call her my ballerina. She jumps and runs and chortles and dooks up a storm. She tunnels and hugs Skippy while they sleep. She gives kisses and sleeps next to us on the futon. Both have been given a second chance at life. I hope we can band together and give all those other poor sould left behind a new life.
