This
is Chuckles, age five. TV must be bad this week, as Chuckles fell
asleep reading his TV Guide. It is his favorite book. My computer
magazine gives him a headache. I can tell because he holds his little
head in his hands, and shakes it back and forth. Chuckles lives
"free" to roam our home, with his cousin Joey, who is also
five years old, and his little girl friend Bootsie, who is two years
old. He is very friendly and never bites, loves to be cuddled until he
wants down, and his favorite treat is "Twizzlers" ( that is
soft licorice whips in case you didn't know.) He sits up, and of course
comes when he's called, if he has a mind to. When he was only three
months old something caused him to become paralyzed from the neck down.
The Vet gave him up for lost, but not me. He spent six weeks strapped to
a back board with constant undivided attention from "Mama",
feeding him a special formula that I developed from the tip of my
finger. After six weeks, he was again able to stand and walk, but did not
recover his complete mobility for a year. He does not walk "all
humped up" like other ferrets, but he can run and jump and play
like all the rest, and of course is still very inquisitive, getting into
things, and hiding them. His favorite play toy is a plastic bag. It
makes a good place to take a quiet nap too. His friend Joey loves all
kinds of squeaky toys and stuffed toys too, and Bootsie gets into
everything. They are all a joy, and love to go traveling with us in our
RV. We were always Cat lovers, and have two purebred Siamese cats as
well, who love to play with the ferrets. Never would have guessed that
we could love little furry friends so much.
