Hi All! I finally found Sherman a playmate! I think it was more a rescue than what I had imagined. Ad in the paper said free ferret. ACK! I call, the guy doesn't even know if it's male or female. About 1 yr old he says. So, at 6:30am I drive 30 minutes to go look at the little fuzzy. (I can't stand the thought of one going to a bad home, and just had to see this one). Anyway, he said "it" was healthy and had it's shots(doubtful). The poor little thing was in a big cage(the only thing nice), had no food(and no bag of food in sight), no hammock, etc. It was a tiny little girl..silver I believe. Skinny and hungry. The guy never said much except "The boy(his son I'm assuming) calls him ED. Needless to say I cuddled her and she was very sweet and tame. Didn't nip a bit....I said Thanks, took her and scrammed out the door. Sounds horrible I know, but I'm a sucker for any kind of baby in need. She and Sherman hit it off wonderfully. They are now curled up together on the floor of the cage(she didn't want to go in Sherman's big hammock). I guess he didn't want her to sleep alone so he's curled up on the floor (with a blanky) with her... Off to the vet tomorrow to see what she might need and have her checked over. Sorry this was so long, but I just had to share! Chris Sherman(I'VE GOT A FRIEND!) No name(When are you going to give me a new name...I never did like ED!) [Posted in FML issue 1848]
