Hi list brothers and sisters, We come and go and read and post or don't post . . . and I wonder if those interested might want to briefly re-introduce ourselves and our fuzzies and maybe tell one favored trait of each ferret. I'll start :-) I'm Sheri and I have 5 fuzzies, so far with no medical problems. Pepper is DEW, male, 1.5-2 years old, and my favorite thing about him is how slow he is to wake up. Mort is MF, dark sable, male, 1 year old (Thanksgiving), and I love how he'll wake up, stare at me until I notice him, smile (I swear!), yawn, and go back to sleep. Uno is marked DEW, male, 1-1.5 years old, and my favorite thing is how he loves to cuddle. BB is silver, male, 1 year old, and my favorite thing is how he leaps on my leg every chance he gets and begs for attention even though his previous family was cruel to him. Princess is a tiny, light sable, female, 1-1.5 years old, and my favorite thing about her is that she is the gentlest ferret I've ever met, almost timid--she perches in my hands like a little bird. So . . . that's my monster crew--now, who's next? (As an aside note . . . if a post meets the criteria, BIG lets it through. I suggest that if you don't like a post and a discussion about it cannot be productive, then don't respond at all-- just let it rest. My 2 cents.) --sheri PS--I gave all my fuzzies extra long cuddles tonight because my heart ached for the Spokane ferrets. If I had 83 candles, I'd light them all, but I will settle for 2. Spokane residents--this is an outrage, forget the police--where is the SPCA? [Posted in FML issue 2144]
