>Hey Hey Hey ::::slapping paw up for a high 5:::: way to go Indy! >I love poofin Mom, her face gets all funny. Keep up the good work. > >Poof, >Petey TPO What is so bad about a ferret poofing? I have had one lil girl who poofed and Well I liked the smell OK? She was a Jill when I got her and when she came into season, (It surprised me I'll tell ya..LOL) I took her to our vet and had her spaded. My vet asked me if I wanted her dissented at the same time. I told her no that is un-necessary surgery and to leave the "poofer" in. she did and yes Suzi did poof from time to time but like I said I kinda like the smell so it wasn't any big deal to me. Hey gang, one time when I visited my friend in Virginia at the Ferret Rescue of Tidewater, she was boarding a hob who was in season. I went out to the ferret room and I rubbed this big boy all over my Tee Shirt. I went back into the house and my wife and my friend all looked at me and asked.."What have you been rolling in" ..LOL. Yes is has a musky odor but hey why do ya think some men like Musky after shave?? It has a manly odor about it...(well ok yes so do old Gym socks but hey I won't rub them on a tee shirt for sure!!). I had to check in with this one but those of you who know me know I am a bit out there especially when it comes to them weasels.... My house is slowly getting back together. I have lost four ferrets in the last 9 weeks or so. Three of them were oldsters over 9 years each but Koda (yes I lost my lively lil sable boy) came ill and I took him in and during an exploratory surgery my vet found Lymphoma thru his whole visceral mass. I decided to let him go under anesthesia as not to prolong a nasty death. I lost Freda to old age and cancer. I lost Throttle to adrenal complications even tho he had a Lupron shot and was regrowing him hair. I lost Clutch 3 weeks to the day his Brudder Throttle died. He had a tumor removed form his penis last November and was doing real good but after Throttle died he went downhill very quickly. He also had Insulinoma and I had to feed him soup every three to four hours. I think when Throttle left, he just lost interest. I now have four fuzzies. Two youngsters and two older but not yet 5 years old. Hopefully I won't loose any more for awhile but then I still do have a Rescue so that can change at any time. We all are on this list due to an undying love for a weasel called a Ferret. I don't even try to understand it anymore, I just except it for what it is. an addiction that I hope does not have a cure. If it has one do not tell me about it OK? I love this addiction and don't need a "cure"...LMAO!! Best to all and HEY stay Fuzzy out there..... Fred Hurd Reno Ferret Rescue [Posted in FML 5591]
