I just wanted to throw a quick line in to let everyone know how my babes got their names and what we "really" call them. ;-) We took in our first ferret just before Christmas last year. I named her after finding her name in a book about gods and goddesses of Greece. I found 'Luna' and since I was on this kick of moons and stars and suns decorating jag, I decided on Luna. O.k. So Luna was acting 'weird' and I didn't know what to do. I started reading the FML and asked about her behaviors and found out she was a perfectly normal but bored ferret. She needed a pal. Thus, the hunt was on for a friend. So, we come across the sweetest little black and white baby who kissed and licked and snuggled in my arms. (O.k. everyone, the collective "ooooohhhhh") So we brought her home and we couldn't decide between Sola (opposite of Luna, of course) or Tick. <<Get it.... Luna-Tick....yuck yuck>>. Finally, we decided on Sola. Now, we are thinking of rescuing some more guys when we move to our bigger house and we are thinking along the lines of Starr, Haley, Bop, Galaxy, Milky, etc. for future names for future kids..... :) As for what we really call them, we started calling them Luna Tuna and Sola Bola. Now they are just Tuna or Tuney and Bola or Belly. Don't know how it worked out that way, but it just did. Now, go see my kids....we welcome you.... http://www.geocities.com/~april_gallaty April (the big 180 pound mommy ferret), Damon (chief pooper scooper in charge), Nutt the terrorized cat, Bridgette the shaved dog, and Luna and Sola the funny ferrets of funky fabulous fun in the sun...
