My ferret, HodgePodge, is lonely! He has the 2 cats to play with, but they just don't understand/relate to him well. My fiance and I play with him alot, but he still seems to be lonely. I have a stuffed black-footed ferret toy, and Hodge will pull it across the floor, and then wrap his arms around its neck and wash its face for a long time. It just breaks my heart. (He also wrestles with it, and sometimes it wins... go figure :) Anyway. Hodge came from a pet store, and my 2nd I'd like to have from a shelter. However, the closest shelter is in Milwaukee, and they have a waiting list. A shelter in Chicago also has a waiting list. And I'd really like to get a black-eyed white female, and name her Fleurette. If anyone knows someone who has baby ferrets, or is taking care of a rescue and looking for a home for her, please e-mail me. By the way, I'm in Madison, WI. Thanks. -----CA & DA (the humans), Eudora and Graham, cats (Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber) and HodgePodge the Lonely Wonder Ferret [Posted in FML issue 1129]
