Well, the yesterday we "met" an 8 week old silver ferret with white paws and a funny looking little black spot on her nose that we just couldn't live without, so we bought her. The little bugger was so endearing and cute that we decided that three ferrets just couldn't be THAT much more trouble than two. We've named her "Woozle" with no apologies to A.A. Milne. So far Presto and Princess are showing no hostility to the hyperactive new arrival, but they haven't decided if she can share the hammock with them yet. I'm sure they'll come around later. Ah, well. I guess whoever dies with the most FERRETS really wins. Marcus & Tatia (humans) Presto, Princess, & Woozle (raisin fiends) [Posted in FML issue 0545]
