I *may* be out in the Toronto area later this summer, though probably not until July or August. If so, and you haven't sold her yet, I'd love to drop by and see your little ferret girl. I've been thinking of getting another ferret so my fuzzy little girl Cassidy would have someone close to her own 'hyper- level' to play with. Some of you may recall that I have been concerned for a while with the lack of playfulness of my other ferret, Buddy. You'll be happy to hear that for the last several weeks, he has perked up immensely, so that he actually gives Cassidy a run for her money :). I don't know if this is a permanent change or just spring fever (both are neutered, by the way). Buddy did perk up when I first got Cassidy last October, but within a few months he seemed to lose interest. Maybe he was just taking it easy for the winter. Anyway, though I'm in no rush to get a third ferret now that Buddy has perked up, I was planning on getting one eventually, so *if* I make it out to Toronto and *if* you still have your ferret, then I may be willing to make her part of my happy, fuzzy family. I have no problem with the price you are asking. Still, I obviously don't expect you to hang on to her on my account, so if you find a good home for her before then don't hesitate to send her there. I also let a friend who may be interested in getting a ferret and who just moved to Ottawa know that yours is for sale. Oh, what's her name by the way? Is she typically bouncy and playful for a ferret? What sort of white markings does she have? I'm glad to hear she doesn't bite. Cassidy, at just over nine months age, still bites sometimes during play or to show affection. Usually she just puts her teeth on me without *really* biting, but occasionally she still bites pretty hard (though never hard enough to draw blood). Do you know about what she weighs? Buddy's about 2 3/4 lbs, and Cassidy's around 2 1/8. Anyway, maybe we should move any further discussion to email, to keep Chris's expenses down. By the way, Chris, you were aware that Lorene Turner (formerly Ferret List Member [log in to unmask]) has moved to Ottawa, weren't you? John, Buddy, and Cassidy [Not really. She left FML a while ago. Linda Gowsell of skdad.usask.ca has moved to Ottawa too. As for bandwidth... Generally conversations that are between two people should be by personal email. But don't be too concerned about bandwidth anymore - I've cut operations costs by a factor of 15... What you should be concerned about is dumping so much stuff in people's mailboxes that they'll start unsubscribing.] [Posted in FML issue 0487]
