It seems that I have always had ferrets in my house. From the very first ancient old-man ferret Mike that we adopted [he lived to be somewhere between 10-12 years] to my last two sweet boys who crossed the Rainbow bridge together yesterday. It breaks my heart to no longer have a fuzzbutt under foot. As circumstances go, we are in the midst of selling our home and moving, so to get any ferts at this time would be....foolhardy. And I am just not sure 'how much' my heart is into it right now. I have lost 5 ferrets in 4 years and with each passing my heart broke a little bit more. Maybe someday we can have another ferret [or three] but just not right now. Our youngest child is almost finished with high school and when she goes off to college we plan on traveling a bit which will be tricky enough with a Jack Russell terrier. To anyone considering adopting, it's a wonderful and rewarding experience. [Posted in FML 5739]
