hi all: i've been posting recently, but have never really introduced my crew. we have lady escher the precious (a 4 year old marshall farms sable), lord tieke the brave (a 2 year old douglas mckay butterscotch silver mitt), lord nero the brainless (a 2 year old mckay black eyed white), lord josephus the pensive (a 2 year old marshall farms blonde), and lady widget the spastic (a five month old mckay silver mitt). widget was born without one of her toes also ("widget who's missing a digit") and it doesn't seem to bother her. she also just got fixed and desented yesterday. from past experience, i would NOT recommend descenting unless it was necessary. i had a female and a male ferret have great complications after the descenting surgery. more later beckers [Posted in FML issue 0587]
