Sorry. Too long by 5 days... We took in a ferret one morning that had just been purchased at a pet store the previous afternnon. This was a kid who bought a ferret without the fathers permission. The father made him give it up even though everyone on the house including the father liked the ferret. We did live in a area with a lot of military folks and the father was very strict on discipline. We don't really care about records like this though. We don't want to get into how many hours as its not helping shelter ferrets to want the shortest turn in time. That seems to us to be concentrating too much on the shelter and not enough on the ferret. bill and diane killian zen and the art of ferrets http://www.zenferret.com/ mailto:[log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2172]
