A new addition to the family after months of trying to find a local ferret to adopt and having no luck-I tried the pet stores. My new friend would be a Junior like me and named after my previous ferret Dick. Dick Jr, "DJ" came home with me from Sandusky Petco on August 1, 2009. He's an 8 week old male Sable (...thats the pattern of his coloring) with white fingertips on his front paws, born in May like me. Kel and I spent the day shopping up in Sandusky stopping by Petco before heading back to Fremont. Something told me to bring along my pet carrier just in case the right ferret happened to be there. I sat and watched the cage full with about 9 ferrets in all. They were all lumped on top of each other sleeping away but DJ was up and bright eyed playing in the cage. He was the only light brown Sable and I though his white front fingertips were interesting. He did good his first night home in a nice fresh cage, food bowl full of his usual brand, and plenty of soft blankets to snuggle into. This morning he clucked away and wanted to come out and explore his new home. We spent about two hours checking out some cool places around the apartment, opening and playing with new toys, and spending a few minutes getting used to his harness and lead. Once he was wore out he crawled right up next to my shoulder on the pillow and rested. He seems happy to bond with me in his new home and I'm happy he's here too :)
