To all who have written to me both directly and those that I will see this morning regarding my posting yesterday...THAN Q! Be assurred I do not feel in the least bit "flamed"! The girl I bought my fuzzy from has been breeding for about a year and made it seem so much easier. I would like to have another one (and if I can convince Tinkerbell's daddy that it is best for "her" :) I will!) and thought that would be a good way and reason to get a little boy. I wanted to think about it with the 2 (now 1/12) months I have before a have her spayed. The only thing the breeder told me about it is if I was not going to breed, have her fixed "for her health". Also, the bit of advice I gave about cardboard toys was premature...no Tink did not get hurt, but I heard it through the fuzzvine that I missed many postings about fuzzies who were hurt and worse getting their heads stuck inside. My baby girl is not worth that. Last night I was assaulted at my apartment (he did not get inside, and I am fine with the exception of the feeling of violation) and I am *sure* that if TInk would have been awake, she would have chomped his eyeballs out!! What a guard ferret she is! She did, however, "protect" me from the dangers lurking in the alarm installer's shoes this afternoon!!! I was red faced as she licked them to death and I couldn't do anything about it without grabbing between his legs!! The installer was patient with her, thank goodness!! By the way, this morning when I took Tink to "the big box" to potty, there were ferret poos that were not there the last time we vistited together!!! I was so happy. Also, she hopped out but then hopped back in and went potty. <beam!!> I took a picture of her the first week I had her (on our vacation to Clearwater Beach!!) and as soon as I get it and have it scanned, I will set it up on my soon to be website so you too can share in my pride. Have a dooktactular weekend!! Renee and Tinkerbell ("hey the shoes were calling my name!!") P.S. Is anyone else thinking about dressing their fuzzies up for the upcoming holiday? Tink thinks she would like to be Scarlett O'Hara. (okay, so I saw the hat and thought it would be cute...I'm a first time mommie...sue me!!) [Posted in FML issue 1725]
