Ferret math has stuck our home once again; a year ago I had three; then I rescued one from the local dog pound; two months ago I saw an ad in the paper for a ferret and I just had to have him; and one week ago I talked with Julie of KFA and she had a darling older pair of ferrets--I wish I could have gotten Tasy but my husband said six was enough. Now I have Baby (a darling silver mitt), Sara, Max (my dog pound ferret), Shelby ( a black stocking), Igloo (DEW) and Taz (who tries his best to live up to his name). My kids share my kitchen and living room with us and a placard on the front door says 6 spoiled ferrets live here plus 3 cats. My ferret vet is just great--he told me that if Max needed adrenal gland surgery that he would charge $80-$100. My husband made new hammocks for the two new ferrets--used a piece of old blanket and used a grommet kid to make the holes and four pieces of twine--which I think is pretty great for a guy who says he doesnt really like ferrets (yeah-right- ha-ha) Sorry this is so long but I usually lurk but just had to share this [Posted in FML issue 2494]
