I'm trying to switch all ferret-related mail to my new e-mail address --- note the cool domain name "ferretlovers.com"! (You can sign up for a free e-mail address at http://www.ferretlovers.com, and there's a link from the Modern Ferret site as well.) Dervish and I are doing great --- she's getting her lovely, dark winter coat in. She's also pooping out a heckuva lot of hair, which means she gets plenty of Vasoline to help that along. I'm also giving her liberal amounts of Ferretvite, as the vet suggested. I don't know how that stuff works, but she's been eating more kibble lately. Dervish will be getting an early Christmas present at the end of this month. I've been putting away a little cash from each paycheck to buy her a brand-new Midwest Ferret Playpen! How I'll fit such a huge cage into my room, I don't know, but she'll love it. It'll also be great for the day when we can expand our ferret family. [I do plan to buy the cage from the Ferret Store; they offer that match-any-competitor thing, and I have found the same cage for about $155 at Petsmart.com.] I would also like to say, in response to this latest Tiffany Taylor flap, that I would be happy to publicly wrestle Bob Church if it could benefit a ferret shelter or provide funds for ferret-related legal services. And Dervish has agreed to wrestle any one of Bob's ferrets in a grudge match --- she may weigh less than a pound, but she's got some serious fight in her. -(TX) Meghan and Dervish the WonderFerret p.s. Apologies to anyone who has e-mailed me and not received a response. My other e-mail has been incredibly unreliable, and there have obviously been messages I didn't ever get. == ________ Happiness is a warm ferret. http://nettrash.com/users/meghan/enter.html [Posted in FML issue 2859]
