Most of you already know Steve and me; we've been here already when any of you have joined. For the new folks: Steve and I have had ferrets for long enough that I'm not exactly sure how long it's been -- something in the general range of 15 years, and we've been around since before there was even a rec.pet.alt, let alone rec.pets.alt.ferrets, and then the FML. Over the years we've had a pile of ferrets, met up with a number of medical problems, have seen medical care for our critters go from virtually non-existent to there now being a number of approaches to things if folks just bother to learn about them, had some abuse victims and/or handicapped guys find their ways here, had some projects going which have occasionally helped a few ferrets, answered a few questions when we know the answer, asked questions when we don't, etc. We are middle-aged old farts in north central N.J. who love ferrets partly because no matter how long you have them you are still always far from seeing it all...
