Hello Fine Ferret People ! After Sue got our new ferret from the shelter, I noticed a ferret oder in our apartment. Rather than induce our ferrets to sprays or other chemicals, I went to the mall and got a really nice top of the line electronic air cleaner. I got one with a washable filter to save money in the long run. (Those disposable filters are not cheap and can be costly in the long run.) Now, the apartment smells much better and there is much less dust and ferret hairs around ! Good news ! Lacey (our new ferret from the shelter) is making herself right at home now. She has gained alot of weight and is starting to play around the apartment. She is even doing some happy dances. Last night, she climbed up my leg and fell asleep in my lap while I was watching the football game ! Although she had a rough life before, she is now full of love and trust. I feel ferrets, like all animals, can read their owners (actually, who owns who ?) and will react accordingly. Don't get me wrong, the reactions are not always positive. (Thumper will bite me if I wait too long to let her out. She knows she MIGHT get off easy... Thanks for reading this ! Jim, Sue, Thumper, Lucy, and Lacey [Posted in FML issue 1702]
