I think the term Ferret Math is cute. But I think collecting too many pets is financially irresponsible. I m glad I started a savings account just for ferret related expenses. I think pet stores sell kits that are way too young. But I know pet store kits deserve a good home too. Do you see where this is going? She s the tiniest, boniest thing I ve ever seen. She literally fits in the palm of my hand. I think she s called a chocolate. She bloodied my hand when I picked her up. She bites way too hard for her age and size. Hungry? Scared? Or both? The clerk said a few more thwacks should cure the biting. I left my finger in her mouth and said Don t bite the Mama . She let go and fell asleep in my hands. I swore I d never buy another ferret. I swore I d never start over again with a kit. I didn't even bring my purse in. Call it pity, call me crazy. I need to think of a name. I guess there IS always room for one more...
