Dook Dook Dook - Changes


Alright. Well.. A long time ago I went to a petstore, one that did not have a good rep and saw a poor little ferret who had just come in with his eye crusted shut.
The people didn't bother to do anything about it so I kept calling for the manager till they did.
The other day I walked back into that filthy, nasty petstore and noticed... hey... he's still here and crammed in a very small space with about 10 others.
The other 10 have become vicious and craving human interaction all at once.
The same kit I had seen had gotten huge, his sad eyes met mine and I choked.
It was him.
He was so large for the small enclosure, I could feel my heart sink completely.
He got so excited when he saw me, mind you, it's been about 6 months since I saw him last.
The man who owned the store walked by and stopped abruptly at the ferrets excitement exclaiming that he had not even seen that ferret that happy ever and that alot of people came to the store on a daily basis and he would not pay any mind. Yet when I arrived he was wardancing, trying to get into my arms and showering me with kisses.

I was determined, when I noticed that he didn't do that to anyone else, and the conditions in which he was in... covered in sawdust... and poop... He had injuries on him from his cagemates... My heart, once again sunk.

I opened up donations for art(yes, if you donated you're getting art omg) , and plenty of wonderful people helped me get ot my goal.

I drove quickly to the store once I got to my goala nd sure enough he was still there.

Got him, and to the vet he went.
Apparently clean bill of health is clean :)

Anyway

He is settled nicely into our lives, loving the space his simple quarentine cage has o_o; (the quarentine cage is a simple SUPERPETS my first home one... and he's seriously OVERWHELMED by the size. hehe )

I had promised myself I wouldn't get another fuzzy... but hell.. It was love at first sight when I saw him as a tiny kit... back then...

Also, lately, I've noticed how crazy the boys are and how laid back the girls are.
Well..
I was looking at the local Flyer yesterday and saw a free ferret cage. Suspicious, I called the person, asking about the size.
It turns out it's a Fiesty Ferret, the only thing is it's missing the panels and the ramps.
Well. that wasn't too big of a deal, we can buy some ramps and stuff at a later date <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZoJ0fibLUOajpmfGUTZndZE1dsmdSC0cD395_NIcm-_aNG_xvFvuVPUV7iusnGDNu0xn-y-b-9Luj8hJA1Y6pljXQ5jv9BzN6de8dshIK_4q9ZkDsfLlD0PebzAKfNWKAOEpI4JMX6NL/s1600-h/girlscage.JPG">

  2. This is great. I'm so glad that you're rescuing and adopting out ferrets to good homes. If I could have one I would (but base houseing does not allow it and I don't want to risk getting one now and not being able to keep it in two or three years when we move again) I love ferret faces and I was the one to wash and trim the nails of the new babies when they came into the pet store I worked at in PA. I'd sing to them and play with them in the water and be generally mothering... oh man I wish I could tell you all my dook stories...
