As you all are aware, I have been blamed for Ms Carol buying another ferret while I was visiting her two weeks ago. We had stopped in at a pet store, just wanting to look, and she picked up the one and only white one (her Lilly is white) and just petted and petted and petted. She fell for him. She did find a lump or hard spot in his tummy and she just rubbed and rubbed it. After we went back to her home, she talked about that little guy and that hard spot and and and A week after I left, she went and bought him anyway. Yesterday, she took him and Baily Boy into the vet, which I feel sure she was concerned with that hard spot and I am sure she was rubbing it some more. She wrote me when she got home: "Newman weighed 1 lb 2 oz and the vet examined his tummy, told me he did have a hard spot - it was his penis" !!!!!!!! Now folks, this is a wife, a mother of two children, the owner of two other male ferrets. Let's all hope Newman recovers from this affliction of being a male ferret!!!!! Which she did say she was soooooooooo embarrassed. We both admitted to kinda having crushes on our young little vets, I bet that killed that one. (Mom always said when your vet looks like he is young enough to be your kid......no she said when the doctors and policemen looked.....) Millie and her snickering, knee slapping, laughing with tears noble cleaning crew Easy Off: the most perfect ferret in the whole wide world Ammonia: GRandma, do you have any real ammonia, I want to doose Ajax with it, it'll help.
