Hi to tp the lady who was talking about the person who wanted her poodle to have a littler first. I use to raise, show my dogs. When someone wanted to breed to one of my chanpions I would ask why. u wouldnt believe the answers I got but the one that all raise my blood presure was the answser " Because I would like my kids experence life and see what it is like" Depending on my mood I would either tell them that the lady should get pregeant and let the kids see that birth but the one I usually say was "gee that is a great idea and while your at it bring your kids to the pound and let them experence death" I know I guess I am mean but when ever I would have a litter everyone was spoken for before the dog and bitch were mated. Msybe that woudl work with ppl who want to bread ferrets for the wrong reason, tell then how they end up in the rescue with they are lucky or are handed down from person to person. Alos the one who wants to get the ferrts away from that guy I would love to get some more but I live in arizona and all my money goes to my doctors thank God my ferrets are healthy. All my guys are from the rescue and thank goodness I stated with sneakers (the ferret from hell) cus if I had started with Conan who is very mellow for a 9 mont old no biting or nothing I would of thought all ferets are like that. I even have one that suzane from the recuse in az gave me to put wait om her and she said I was one of the few ppl she trusted with her. U see she had been abuse, is blind now and follows me by mu voice she needs etra care she is thin but is putting on weight she is 5 years old and will be here till she crosses the rainbow bridge but anytime I let them all out and there is a problem I just yell out "widie leave the boys alone" she likes her space. well guys I know im rambling and I'm sorry this is so long. I also have a knack to train or tame ferrets not to bite etc. The ones that are brought to me , some are just normal ferrets that have been cooped up in there cage for weeks on end. I would love to get a baby. I have had sneakers since he is 3moths old he will be a year in Oct. Not sure exactly how old Connan is but he is younger then a year and very big and heavy. I would love one from Stars german lines not to breed but as a pet but I, not sure I can affor it so i shall be very happy with my ferret family for one. Please forgive the long post take care my friends angel [Posted in FML issue 1714]
