First I must say I have truly enjoyed the past few days of introductions from everyone! What a wonderful thing to do during this holiday season!!! So now I'm going to take a turn!!! :) My name is Missy and I'm from East Tennessee. I'm owned by several critters (9 to be exact... The TN Brat Pack)with 2 being ferrets. Lil' Nose is my baby boy who adopted me while I was shopping in a pet store. He's 2 years old now and on the 31st of Dec he will has been stealing my stuff for 2 years. Pandora is my little gal. She came to me from a "shelter" in Ca. while I was living there alittle over a year ago. I think I needed her as much as she needed me. She is an absolute doll and I love them both more than words can say. The others in the gang are Tisket and Tasket and Boo (cats), Madeline, Bear, and Muttley (dogs), and one heck of a large GoldFish named FISH (original huh?) I started reading the FML about 3.5 years ago when I decided I wanted a ferret but knew nothing about them. This list has taught me so much that a simple "Thank You" can't express! I have made several WONDERFUL friends through the list and consider all of you like family. I cry when someone says goodbye or tells of a sick baby. I laugh at all the silly stories (Patrick, did you ever think maybe Stinky wants a career as a lounge performer? :) ) and looked befuddled as I read some of Bob C's posts. (Still waiting for the English versions of some of those Bob!:) ) And every day I look to see if the announcement from Mary Cohen is there saying she has a CD now out of her wonderful Ferret Tunes!! So to all my Ferret Family... Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and may your socks suddenly appear! :) See Ya!!! :) Missy and the TN Brat Pack! PS... Hey Kevin... where's you intro??? :) [Posted in FML issue 2886]
