Hello everyone! I have been on the fml a few times but have never said who I am. My name is Stephanie Sheme, president of Ferrets Etc. out in Denver, Colorado and veterinary technician. Ihave had ferrets since high school and love them more than life itself. My first ferret Bandit followed me from high school in Las Vegas, Nevada to college in Manassas, Va. and all the way to life here in Colorado. He is the one who inspired me to start Ferrets Etc. Our newsletter is even named for him... "For the Love of Bandit". Unfortunatley he passed away a few summers ago, but he always lives on in heart and spirit of everything I do. I learned about all the ferret lovers out there when I was in college. I went to a few shows held by the former IFA, if anyone knows who they were?? When I moved here I decided to put all my education and love for ferrets to use and here I am today. It is great to talk with all the ferret lovers in the world I am glad our little friends have so many. Well, anyway what started as my origanal 3 ferrets when I moved to Colorado has multiplied greatly. I only have one of the original 3 left, Crystal Leigh. Bandit and Nellie have gone on to ferret heaven. But there memory is cared on with Rowdy, Imaginous, Phoebe, Little Nikita, Lil Bit O Jazz, Twilights Angel and Jasmines Fire. Not to mention all the wonderful rescue ferrets who touch my life!! Best wishes to all and hope to talk some more as soon as I am sure I can work this computer right with out breaking it!!
