about 2 years ago i walked into a little pet store in KY. and got my first glimse of a ferret. so being a grad of science i had to study the possibilites of owning one of these fuzzy little animals. upon my studies i landed on this list, where people talked about ferrets owning people and not the other way around. i was, to say the least, intrigued. i took the first step and bought the little girl that would let go of my hand. the whole way home i couldnt get it out of my head how none of the others were as excited as she. Upon arriving home with this little critter i just assumed it to be another pet, she played, chased balls, and was just happy to be along for the ride. Then she got sick, i was beside myself, i had no idea how this little one had touched my life. in such a short time she had went from a pet to one of my children, an only child by the way. i did everthing in my power to find an exotic vet. in southern illinois and finally got one in the middle of the night. she was fine just a very bad cold, a few meds and a few days and she was back to normal. since then i aquired a albino kit that is blind and again i turned to the FML for support. both are inseperable and so am i from them. they depend on me for the love and support they need and i depend on their unconditional love and support as well. in short (even though its been long) every one of you deserve a big thanx from me and my owners kit and little bit. thank you all. Kit-(you just think i cant get this shoe to fit under the chest) Little Bit - (if she cant, ill help er, if she'll just show me where the chest is at) KENNETH D. VERBLE ANNA IL.
