After traveling many miles with Laura Baran and helpers of the Boise Essential Ferrets shelter, two brothers came home with me, Pomeroy and Tarleton. Seems Laura and crew on the drive back named each ferret with the name of each town they passed through. I can't remember the total they brought back but it was a bunch. Both boys were whole and about 6 months old. Both were neutered. Tarlton was a champagne and Pomeroy a black Roan Mitt. Both boys turned out to be the sweetest kids. Sadly, at about a year and a half old Tarlton suddenly became paralyzed completely in his hind legs. Four months into trying to find why and trying to get him to improve I made the so very difficult decision. It was one of the most difficult ones as this boy had a heart as big as a boulder. He would go to great lengths and many minutes dragging himself to the litter area so he would not soil his cage. But then of course he would need to be cleaned off afterwards. The post on him showed nothing wrong so it was a double whammy for my heart. His brother Pomeroy is still here and what a clown! He is a true "ball ferret". He LOVES his small rolly balls and will push them and throw them in the air and do all sorts of craziness with them. It's quite a sight. Pomeroy is still healthy to date. Yes we should all remember this rescue for many reasons with the most important of how so many pulled together to get it done and became a huge team putting aside differences and working together.
