Greetings from Massachusetts! (Lots of Pictures Inside!)

Hi Liz, sorry to say I am just seeing this thread now. Welcome to Pet Talk. Lucy has one of the prettiest smiles I have ever seen on a little girl (even one of my co-workers commented on it ). And Molly, oh my gosh, with those eyes she could have absolutely anything she wanted. Good thing she isn't my baby, I would be putty in her paws. I am glad to hear that she has been able to overcome her health problems; I am sure a loving home helped a lot. I have never had a ferret, but I really enjoyed meeting yours. What personalities they have. Hope you enjoy it here on PT and hope to see a lot more of your furkids.

Hi Sandie! Thank you so so much for introducing me to this wonderful place I feel right at home surrounded by fellow pet lovers! And I'm glad you finally get to see "Miss Molly" who you were kind enough to answer so many questions about We're watching her like a hawk to make sure no more hairless spots pop up - right now it's just the spot on her foreleg and a teeny one on her paw, the vet said those were pretty typical spots for demodectic mange to pop up. I feel like by the time Molly is 100% healthy I could probably be some sort of vet tech, since she's now had almost everything possible wrong with her

Ginger's Mom - Thank you for the compliment on Lucy's smile - she's such a goofy girl, and always seems to be wearing that sloppy grin on her face. While Molly was in the critical care unit at Angell Memorial one of the Vets there told me that a veterinary technician came up to him at the beginning of his shift, crying, saying that she couldn't stand to see Molly all "locked up like that". They had her in a little incubator type thing that looked a lot like a microwave, because they thought she might be contagious, so she couldn't be in a regular kennel like the rest of the dogs. When we went to go visit her during visitors hours at the hospital, my fiance and I had to put on gowns and gloves and had to pet her through a tiny hole in the door. It was heartbreaking. The vet tech said that every time she walked by Molly's incubator, Molly would lift her head up and give her those eyes until she came over and pet her lol - she really does know how to get what she wants!!

Edit - lvpets2002, sorry I didn't see your reply! If you didn't live so far away I would absolutely let you babysit my ferrets They do tend to try to take over any house they stay in though - and they typically succeed lol
