Hi All: Thank you for the responses and condolensces (sp?) I have received from my post. I am still looking forward to seeing my first BEW when I go to see Mike's new litter, but unfortunately I've come down with a cold (doesn't it always seem to work out that you get sick when you have off from work?) and had to post-pone by visit. I've also gotten in touch with a few other shelters and breeders so hopefully I will find two fuzzies to bring into the house in the next couple of months. I am currently in the process of finding a ferret knowledgeable vet in the area before I bring the new ferrets home. I found a couple of names on the ferret database, but before I go to check them out, I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on what questions I should be asking them? Also, I travel occasionally for business and I almost always take my pup Frankie with me, but in the past Hobbes always stayed at home with a sitter because she never was big on riding in the car. I am hoping with the two new babies, if I get them used to riding in the car from the get-go they'll be able to travel with me. Any suggestions on what kind of carrier I should get for them in the car, and some kind of portable cage I could keep them in in a hotel room. I saw the instructions on how to make your own, but I have very limited resources and even fewer mechanical skills, so a store bought solution would be ideal. Finally, this is so morbid and it is breaking my heart more and more everyday, but does anyone in PA know if there is a law against burying an animal on public property (such as in a park)? I live in an apartment building and I have no where that I can bury my sweet Hobbes. I have one friend in the area that has a backyard, but she is out of town for the next few weeks and I can't get ahold of her. I live right next to a wooded park, but I don't want to break any laws. I have tried to call the park commission, but the phone is always busy or they're not in the office. Any help would be most appreciated. I am so happy that I found this list. There is a similar list for golden retrievers that has provided invaluable assistance with the raising of Frankie, and I can see this list is going to help just as much, if not more! Private e-mail is fine for answers to these questions.
