Hi all! This is Mindy in West Virginia with my four fuzzbutts - Whiskers, Tiny, Cocoa and Tigger. I haven't written in awhile, but read the FML daily. I now have a computer at home so I am at this new address. I too have a shy ferret named Tigger. He is also a very big boy. I don't think anyone else but me understands Tigger and I am glad he is with me. He is scared of everything and you are lucky if you catch him to love on him. I only get to love on him when he just wakes up or if I'm lucky to catch him. He hates loud noises and I have often thought he might be a little deaf. His nicknames are Mr. T and T-Bird. I named him Tigger because when I brought him home he bounced all over. You see, no one wanted him in the pet store because he was so big and was full grown. No one wanted his cage mate, Cocoa, either, but, now they are here and they have more love in the world than anyone knows. So Victoria, be glad of your shy guy and just think, if you didn't have him, maybe no one else would understand him and be patient with him. He is lucky to have a loving home with you.
