Hi, fuzzy-people! Being the sometimes slow-on-the-uptake person that I am, it just now occurred to me that there might be hope for getting my ferret-fix while I'm living in pet-disallowed university housing. Are there any of you out there living in or near South Bend, IN who would be willing to meet up with a ferret-starved Notre Dame student sometime for conversation and ferret fun? If so, mail me...being able to interact with other people's ferrets would help a little to alleviate my missing my own three. >My 10 month old male Panda "Sprout" when awakened, is instantly awake and >on the go......no stretching, no yawning, no lolling around. Has anyone >else seen this in their ferret? Francine, this describes my 4-month old light sable boy, Loki, to a tee! My three will be laying in a pile in their hammock, and as soon as I walk in, Loki is out of the hammock like a shot waiting for me to open the cage door, while Zorro and Claudia have to stretch, yawn, shimmy, etc. before they're ready for play. And when I open the cage door, he's always the first one out, launching himself into my arms and giving me ferret kisses. :) Dooks to all, Lisa Mom of Zorro, Claudia, and Loki @}-}-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --{-{@ "There in the midst of it so alive and so alone Words support like bone." --Peter Gabriel "Mercy Street" [Posted in FML issue 2229]
