As I sit here at the keyboard I realize that this is the hardest thing I will ever have to do. I own 3 ferrets...all boys. They are Thunder (13mos), Rascal (11mos) and Digger (9mos). Unfortunately, they do not live with me. (Long story). Now, the person who they are living with can't have them. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I can not take them. My heart is breaking... I live near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I guess the time has come....I just can't do it... Is there anyone in my area who will adopt them? I hate to do this... I don't want to do this... I don't want to take the easy way out...meaning dropping them off at the humane society or to the shelter as they have enough problems...I want them to go to a good home where the people wouldn't object to an occasional visit from us. They are good boys...and I feel terrible that I am doing this to them... I don't want to put an add in the paper...It is so impersonal and you never really know where they are going...At least here I know people care and are knowledgeable... I would prefer that they stay together...but, if absolutely necessary...well ... They are good boys...I feel like I am giving up my own child and it is literally breaking my heart... If there is ANYONE who could give me advice or could help me in anyway...It would be greatly appreciated... Please, either contact me through the FML, personal email or call me (613) 253-2085. There is an answering machine... With a heavy heart and a wet keyboard I sign off, Krista Hamilton [Posted in FML issue 1548]
