Effie Marie-- So sorry to hear that your little Loki didn't make it. We were all hoping a way would be found to give him more months of quality life with you. Hang in there. Paul Williams-- How terrible for you to lose your fuzzies that way! We understand your shock and anger at their deaths and don't blame you in the least for directing it toward the dogs, though I'm glad to hear you kept a grip on the urge to kill. It's truly awful to feel the kind of grief and anger you do when someone you love dies in a completely unforseen accident, and I know how strong the urge is to find someplace to loose it. Here are the listings I could find for Missouri. There weren't any for NW Arkansas. Missouri: Ferret Referral Service Jim & Leah Harrington 5510 Fair Ridge Ct Jennings, MO 63136 314-382-6327 K.C. Ferret Hotline Rescue, adopt, info Dr. Bobbi McCanse 904 E. 28th St. Kansas City, MO 64109 816-842-3707 Academy Animal Hospital 201 E. 15th St. Joplin, MO 64804 417-781-8681 I realize that the first two are nowhere near you, but I thought if there is someone closer that these guys might help you find them. The vet was listed under vets who treat ferrets, and since they are much closer to you, I was hoping that they might know if any of their customers did sheltering or breeding. I sure thought I once read a note on GEnie that mentioned a breeder somewhere in the Joplin area, but I apparently didn't save the reference. Good luck! Debra [Posted in FML issue 0671]
