Yes, I agree with Linda. I was an apartment manager for 4 years and what seen what people with animals left their places in. If Megan moved to the Island of Vancouver, BC and I was a manager I would rent to her. I laugh and cry over the posts, I know the feeling of losing a Love one, even when he was only 4 month old. I would never give up any of fuzzies, matter of of I keep adding to my crew. The SPCA in Nanaimo has our phone number and gives it out to the owner when a ferret needs a home. I also been there when introductions of new ferrets comes into the home, since I adopted 3 boys in May (Thank you Kimberly)and Misty (SPCA, gave out our number)in Sept, which we still are going thru the chittering, hissing mode still. Stover is a lap ferret and cries when I leave, Otis is the wardancer of all of them, Kodiak, is the Spread Eagle boy I ever saw, when picked up. Bandit, she is the pooter ferret, Tazz, the she-devil, runs off gait and is pear shape too, Misty, well she is still the stand offish girl. Marie and Jim [Posted in FML issue 2492]
