I am pleased to announce two more members of my crew! Tonight we went for a=
long car ride and my friend socks picked out two new friends fatty and swe=
at pea. Fatty is 4 and big. Sweat pea is 1 and cute nice ring with some bro=
wn spotting on her nose. Fatty is a pure sable with great markings. I am so=
pleased with both of them, they are very special to me, and socks seems to=
think they are special to him to. When we got there, Keep in mind this was=
a rural area, They both had a great house big and hand made. However probl=
ems were already on the agenda. First they both eat Spotsman cat food which=
I was told is really low quality, that was not good news. AHHHH number 1. =
Then she showed me the litter box, AHHHH number 2. There was cat litter bei=
ng used for them. Not good I know. All three played together for a while an=
d I got the nod from my fiance along with approving licks from all three of=
my special guys, that sent us back home with not one but three ferrets. He=
re in lies the problem, we are novices at this, but I have heard the younge=
r ferret make almost clucking sounds now that she is here, very odd to me, =
I don't understand what that is. Should I be worried about it? Second was t=
hat now with this crap cat food I am going to need to ween them to somethin=
g else, how does that work? Third is how big is too big? I am afraid that f=
atty is overweight or possibly diseased and overweight from that. It doesnt=
make me love him less but if he needs care I want to help him. Third is th=
at there was some war today between sock and sweat pea, I am told this is d=
ominance but I only trust you guys! I just want to make sure they aren't hu=
rting eachother, how do I distinguish this? Last I want to say that Socks c=
ame to this website with a problem about his heart. Since then he has impro=
ved leaps and bounds. Thanks to all who were there with love and support on=
what I could do, you comments have made Socks alive and active, and with a=
10% estimated decrease in the size of his heart with about a 50% increase =
in his play. God bless and thanks =
