After seeing the note that the final who/where list was going up soon I decided it was time I got mine sent in. My name is Liz and I live in Columbia, MD with my husband Mike and our little baby boy Gabby. About a year and a half to two years ago we lived in a very small one room apartment and once we began looking at bigger apartments my husband said he wanted to get a ferret. Not knowing anything about them I of course turned to the internet and while getting information from Ferret Central I came across the FML. I quickly subscribed and the stories combined with the pictures and information from Ferret Central were enough to convince me I wanted one of these little cuties. I fell in love with their furry little faces and started annoying my husband with all sorts of ferret related ancedotes. Once we moved into a bigger apartment it was only about a month before I pestered him into looking at ferrets. We knew there was a pet store near our old apartment that my husband had seen ferrets in so we called and found out they had just gotten some in the day before. We drove over and as soon as I saw this playful little sable I knew he had to be mine. We bought the cage and everything all at once. We were told it was not a Marshall Farms and that the ferret was female. Considering how talkative the little one was and the supposed gender we decided Gabby was the perfect name. Then we found out she was a he and that he was Marshall Farms. I couldn't ask for a better ferret though. He's a little over a year old now and has the sweetest personality. Now if I could just keep him from digging at the carpet I'd have the perfect ferret. I'd love to adopt him a playmate someday but for now he's going to have to be an only child. Thanks to the advice of people on this list I'm wary of taking on more that we're ready for. I'd rather have one baby that I can spoil and know will be healthy and well cared for than have to stress and worry about the health of two. [Posted in FML issue 2905]
