Hi All I've been a lurker her for a bit (namely I had nothing important to say) but now I have some thing that I would like to share with you.It seems that I am one of the extremely lucky people that were able to get a ferret from Sam in New Zealand and I thought that I would pass along how our new little girl is getting along.When we picked her up from the airport I wasn't sure what to expect the flight she had that day wasn't long but it had been an extremely long couple of days for her.I expected one worn out fert.I was suprised to find her not exactly playful but very alert.She seemed to know that we were her new folks and was pleased with that fact. After getting her home we let her out of her carrier so she could have a bit of a look around and start to get used to her new surroundings. The first thing she did was stick her head out look around and yawn.Now we are not interior decorators but I never thought the house was boring,oh well. Next she came out and decided to look around she just explored didn't war dance but thats understandable. I was thinking that we had just received a very laid back ferret. The next day after we had let her get used to her new house we let her out to play that was when I realised that we had gotten a turbocharged fert.I mean all 8 cylinders and a Paxton supercharger.She has to be one of the fastest little girls Ive ever seen.She is also very sweet. The only thing that concerns me is that she has lost a patch of hair on her shoulder but I've attributed that to the incredible speeds she has achieved.(don't worry its where they shaved her to identify her in transit) In closing I would like to thank all the people who helped make Kiwi's journey from half way around the world to our home here in Spokane. First Sam for allowing us to have her. Second Joe who put in a lot of hard work getting people lined up to see her safely through the "Black Hole"of Ca. And the folks in the Black Hole for driving 2 hrs. To see her safely through . I cant tell you how much we appreciate it.I'll post again soon and let you all know how she is getting on and what kind of reactions she has with the rest of our menagerie.
