I don't want to miss out on the intro's so better late than never right! My name is Barb and I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I can't remember exactly where I heard about the FML but was likely either through Ferret Central or through the old Ferret Chat Server that Lars and Nadine hosted. Guess that was hmm... I don't know....maybe 5 years ago. I mostly lurk, not by choice, but cause I'm already up to my eyeballs involved in the Alberta Ferret Society which is soon to enter its 4th year and which seems to have taken over my life. By my own choice of course! My first contact with ferrets was while working as a volunteer at our city zoo. I fell head over heels in love and haven't looked back since. That would have been about 12 years ago I guess. Today I am owned by 4 ferrets, Boots, Julie, LittleUn and Chico. All adopted from the Society except for Boots who I've had since he was a wee baby. There are usually one of two fosters staying at any given moment as well. Right now its Elmo...or Elmy as I fondly call him. I haven't been able to find two slippers that match since the day he arrived.. but he is a dear and I'm hoping he'll have a new home soon. I invite you to visit our web page at www.ferrets.edmonton.ab.ca where you will meet some rescues who are looking for new homes.
