Four years ago, I walked into a pet store just to kill some time....
I walked out with 2 baby ferrets and my life has not been the same since!
Thunder and Lightning (affectionately named the Storm Sisters) taught me what it was like to be loved
unconditionally, and at the same time led me into a world of unpredictability, chaos, and uncontrollable
laughter. During the first year of the girls' life, I quickly learned a lot about living with ferrets (including
the fact that they are smarter than I ).
Then one late night at work, I popped onto the Internet and found the Ferret Central. If you have not
visited this site, I highly recommend it from both an informational perspective and a jumping spot to other
sites (plus there are some really cute pictures). To make a long story short, this eventually led me to a local
group of ferret lovers. Finding the Toronto Internet Ferret Group game me the opportunity to meet other
ferret owners, share experiences and even better be in a room with a plethora of ferrets (Ferret Frolics).
Thanks to my association with the people that make up the TIFG, my third ferret Hershey came into my
life.
Not long after getting Hershey settled in with the Storm Sisters, I met Randy Belair, founder of the Ferret
Aid Society of Toronto. Working with the shelter has given me a new understanding of how important it is
to continuously improve ferret education for the good of ferrets everywhere. It has also enhanced my
respect of these 4 legged creatures, by experiencing some of their heartaches first hand. It is thanks to the
good work of the FAST, that Cosmo became the fourth ferret to call my house a home.
Now that you know how each of my ferrets came into my life, please take a minute and visit their pages:
