Hi, all! 'Need advice: My local Pet Supermarket just got in a new shipment of ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS kits. Such beautiful colors and so friendly ~ not a nipper in the bunch, can you believe it?!? Here's my question - please reply if you can help: There is one black sable kit there from the last "batch" that never got sold. He, too, is gorgeous, and still young, but he's clearly older & larger than the new kits. All of us on this list know how sweet those lil' kits are and how they're the first to go. What can I suggest to the pet store to help save this (relatively) big guy from <gulp> return to the breeder (MF); to make him more 'marketable' to ferret-newbies?? Any ideas greatly appreciated. THANKS! Melissa: "Well, maybe just ONE more... no, we can't... well, maybe... no. No, we can't.... I don't think.... oh, what's just one? No.. NO.... I think. Darn it!" SO: "Honey, if you want, it's okay with me. Let's see; which one can we give up to make room for him? <evil pulling-your-leg grin>" The "raisin gallery" (to be confused with the peanut gallery): Dexter: "Aw, c'mon, mom; can't we have just ONE more? I'll kiss his ears & be sweet to him..." Cocoa: "Huh? Wha? What's goin' on?" MoJo: "Well, if the lil' whippersnapper is cute enough, MAYBE I'll share my ChewEasels with him. No promises!" RockStar: "C'mon, mom, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, yup, yup, yup! I will take him home and I will dress him up and I will call him 'George'." MacDaddy: "***FRESH MEAT!!!***" Fluffy: "Oh, what a pleasant thought; a new BABY!" Cosmo: "I don't care, as long as he lets me sleep and stays out of my a/d." [Posted in FML issue 2800]
