Well if calling a ferret a stink butt, fur butt, fur kid, ect.... Is needing to get a life or needing psychological help. I really must be in trouble I dance with ferrets. PLEASE IF ANY ONE CAN CURE ME PLEASE DON'T. I like being this way. Although I could use some dance lessons, I keep stepping on Taz's feet. :-) BIG thanks for posting that removal from the FLM request. You made me SMILE. BIG TIME. Witch seems to be harder today than usual. It's the one year anniversary of the loss of my beloved Mako. I send my condolences to those who have lost their four legged children lately. With the list getting so big, I read of so many losses everyday it is almost impossible to reply. My heart goes out to all you/us. FERRET SHELTERS that ferret sit. I board my ferrets at the shelter at least twice a year. I think they like it there better than at home. Although they come running to me when I return. The big thing is to make sure the person doing the boarding knows all the needs of your ferrets ie. FUR BUTTS. Meds. foods, treats, even toys. Ferret sitting helps pay for the shelter. I will not leave my fur kids with my son, even though he's old enough. I trust the shelter to do what is right. We also have the same vet that helps a lot. Oh ya make sure you get the medical history of the ferts just in case something happens. Also make sure if your shelter had ECE that the ferrets you're sitting did also or VISA VERSA. You don't want to put their ferrets in harms way or yours. Make sure they sign a contract. You do not want to get stuck with a large vet bill if something were to happen to a ferret being boarded. Ferrets can get sick on a moments notice as we all know. Last but not least. Find a shrink if you keep calling ferrets by any other name than ferret. It's to late for me but some of you out there may be able change your life back around after years of psycho analysis. Take care and have a good weekend. -------------------------------------- Brad, Donna, Taz the spaz, and Marie. Have you ever danced with a ferret under the light of a full moon?
