I received several nice calls from people who wanted to adopt Sweet George the Alexandria rescue. I just returned from a ten day vacation with both ferrets and have decided to keep Georgie myself. My world would have to turn inside out before he leaves me. Yesterday morning at 5 am he told me that he wanted to play, so I crawled out of bed and took him into the living room with his toys. I curled up on the couch to keep one ear and one eye open on what he was doing, but not 5 minutes later he was up there beside me sound asleep. He might be young, but he recognizes a good nap spot like a pro. So, now that I have Georgie and Azrael, a grumpy older free roam landlord ferret who has been my constant companion for almost four years, I need to find a nice cage for Georgie when I'm not home. I'm ordering the catalogues, but if anyone in the Washington DC area has a nice cage for sale, I'm interested. Last item, I have a good source for Totally Ferret for about $11/5lb. Call Pro-Feed in Alexandria and Springfield, Virginia. There may be another store in the area too. Some of you could have this shipped from here and still pay less than some of the prices I've heard. Also, I drive to Ohio (and I think very close to Performance Foods) about every six months and could make runs for TF is the price is good from the manufacturer. Drop offs could be made anywhere along I-70 East of Columbus, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and 270 South to DC. I'll let you all know when I'm going again, probably Easter.
