Hello to everyone out there! Well, I noticed that my little Thelma was going bald on her tummy and her tail, so after re-reading all the emails from you guys, I panicked and rushed her and Louise into the vet on Friday after work. Now, I usually only read about bad news for the ferrets so I decided to post this one (a happy story for everyone). Thelma has seasonal _________ (I forget the word), but it is normal, and she will start to grow her fur in again soon (just in time for winter I hope because it gets dang cold here!!!) Seeing as I had both Thelma and Louise there, he gave them both a full exam (and only charged me for one!!). They are perfectly healthy and doing great! Then, later that night my friend dropped in with her 3 girls - 10, 12 and 14 (humans people, not ferts!!). Well, her kids went ballistic over the little critters, so I had them sit on the floor, shoes on because the ferts LOVE (and I mean LOVE) to bite toes covered with socks!!), and Thelma and Louise were the absolute best ferrets I have ever seen in my entire life (mind you that doesn't say much because the only other ones I have seen are in the pet stores.) They were so great - no even a nip. Then, on Saturday (it was my birthday - I am now 26 !!!) I decided to spoil them. Off to SuperPet I went and spent a whole bunch of money on toys and treats and vitamins, etc... for ferts and cats! I bought lots of tubes (5 sets) and a ball with holes in it (to put the tubes in), Pounce, and Ultra blend and lots and lots of toys! They also had 7 little baby ferrets in the cage and I fell in love and ALMOST came home with one! Almost, but not quite. I can't really do that right now ($$ for one and time for another reason! In between studying and working 10 hours a day, school, and ferts and cats, I don't realle have the time to train one!) Well, I must get back to work, I hope all is well with everyone, I hope the lost ferrets in Toronto have been found, my heart is with you, Take care all the ferts, Marion, Thelma, Louise, JD and Oscar [Posted in FML issue 2080]
