Before I begin, I would just like to thank everyone who gave me suggestions about how to control Hershey's smell, or helped me with my other questions. I really appreciate the fact that you took time to help me out. Now some other news. I am incredibly sad to be posting this, but thought I should let you all know. After only 10 days with my sweet baby Hershey, I had to give her up. I don't want to get into "why" here, so as not to fill up the FML with sad news. If anyone would like to know the whole story, feel free to e-mail me. My only consolation in this awful event is that Hershey went to a wonderful home. Paige Townsend took her (thanks again, Paige), and I'm sure Hershey will have a wonderful new life with her brand new ferret-sisters, Thunder and Lightning. I know Paige will be a great mom to Hershey. I just wish I could still be filling that position. My very first ferret, and I only had her for 10 days! Oh well, enough wailing. When I move out on my own, I'll get another (or two, or three...). Until then, I'll just have to live vicariously through you and yours! Dooks to all your babies. Shawna [Posted in FML issue 1684]
