It is with great pleasure I introduce two newbees into my den of antiquity. Both are absolutely beautiful silver mitts with dark black noses; one is female and the other male. Female silver mitt is about 3 years old, and strangely enough is the color and size of Moose who died recently. They could have been twins. She is only the second ferret I have ever decided to rename; with her scary resemblance to Moose and her white gloves, I decided that "Minnie Moose" would be a great name. Hopefully a name that would pay homage to a great friend. PLUS the name is a pun (Minnie? Mini? he he he). The male is a ferret the likes few people have ever seen before. He is also a drop dead beautiful silver mitt, with an energy and playful nature that has actually *scared* people. He is also the largest male *I* have *EVER* seen; previous to this boy, the largest males I have seen were in Bill K's collection of mustelid misfits. At 16-17 weeks, this guy is larger (or at least as large as) than Bill's big guys. At first, I thought he was a malformed cat. People who have seen Tui, Silly, G.W. and Carbone can confirm how huge those big boys are; they are dwarfed by the new guy. When Meg offered him to me, I suggested "Moose 2" as his name, but considering the addition of "Minnie Moose," I thought "Mickey Moose" would be appropriate. Elizabeth concurs, and since she is the boss, so be it. I will say it is strange to see such a huge hob, and when picking him up, feel softer than life kit fur. His paws are *so* huge! So welcome Minnie Moose and Mickey Moose into my business of mopheads. Thanks Meg! Bob C and 18 Mo' Fab Ferrets [Posted in FML issue 2793]
