Hi all, just wanted to bring about some points and ask some questions and share about things I've been reading on the FML. About me: I've had my first two ferrets (Chopper-A kissy-face male Siamese, and Betty-A not so kissy-face (but getting there) ankle-biting Sable female. Both from MF) since January of this year, have been getting the FML for about two months, and have posted a couple other times without really telling y'all about myself (sorry). Ever since I saw "BeastMaster" (the first one) with Codo and Podo, I've wanted a fert. Didn't know much about them cuz, uh, I'm from the largest FFZ now in existence. Anyhow, I moved to Florida to go to school there, and met people who had them, so I researched for about six months before getting my two fuzzbutts. Boy was I in for a big surprise!! After the shock of those two 'hellians', I was thinking about adding another to the (wrecking crew?) business, and was wondering if there were any breeders/shelters in the Central Florida area? I'm in Daytona Beach, so Orlando or Melbourne or somewhere within a two hour drive from Daytona would be perfect. Anyhow, I wanted to raise some questions about things I've been reading lately: About the three who were murdered in NC-According to the authorities that be, ferret rabies vaccines DO NOT work, yet they are required to get them. Has anyone considered the fact that the US federal government people have approved the vaccine, AND that the makers of the vaccine might not be too happy about the whole thing? Just a thought, but it would be cool to hear about some sort of legal action being taken on the part of the manufacturer. Those of you who posted about things (These are my opinions, and I'm NOT trying to anger, or to start a flame war!!) like not calling people "Witches" and not to use the terms "murder" and "martyr" and such with animals-STOP NIT-PICKING!! It's annoying. BTW, if you feel you must flame me, send it to me, not the list. (Oh boy, I can see it coming already...:) "...Now for something completely different..." Today I noticed something that I have only read about happening to other people, and thought was extremely funny but never thought it'd happen to me-Betty has started to steal my socks!! Along with the other miscelaneous items under my desk, under my "Zabaton Cage" (one of those wooden 'cage' type things for keeping pillows and blankets in-along with 'Zabatons' whatever the hell those are) and in my closet was about fifteen of my socks!! I caught her swiping one this afternoon, and laughed so hard it hurt-the sock was bigger than she was, and in the process of doing so, she'd trip on it every few steps, stop and get a better grip, run like hell, trip, etc. Oh well, now I know where my "lost" laundry is!! Dooks to all, Chris, Betty, and Chopper [Posted in FML issue 1607]
