I do not know what transpired between yesterdays post/poster and Debbie (sunshine) But I feel, as a friend of hers I must come to her defense. Yes I will admitt she is a little nuts when it comes to her ferrets, Having been to her home, I can tell you they want for nothing..except maybe free roam of the couch.. Her cage set up and their play area has everything..and they get the best of food. Debbie could NEVER flame anyone..it is not her nature. Maybe she is too sensitive and she has some very strong opinions about some things regarding her ferrets, and I think she trys to start some very interesting threads/conversations about ferret related topics..some of these threads take off..like the teeth discussion or who we all are..there have been many others over the past year. And even herself has admitted she is bad at conveying in print what she is really trying to say.. I myself cant understand some of the things she prints..but I get the gist of it..I dont think she is talking down to anyone. Sometimes she does repeat herself, but there are always new people subscribing to the list who could benefit from some of these questions, for example.. nail trimming, or ferret proofing..or dominance issues. She truly loves to help others, there are things that keep her from working currently so she has a lot of time to donate. Her mother makes some wonderful hammocks, I myself have 2 of them, and there are several shelters out there that have them too. My point is, she is just not capable of flamming..she is very diplomatic..a little too sensitive and maybe a little nuts when it comes to her ferrets!
