graculusI just found out that the woman I usually board my ferrets with (and from who I got Remus and Obi about 6 months ago) died on Friday.
A major loss to ferret welfare in this area, since Adrie was a dynamic woman, working hard to educate people and she rehomed literally hundreds of ferrets over the period of time she was actively involved in rescue. She was very much against widespread breeding of ferrets for show purposes (a stand I totally agree with), since she used to often end up with the inbred rejects - ferrets with jaws that meant they couldn't eat easily, or with deformed feet like my Lily.
I have to admit, though, that my immediate response was 'oh shit, who's going to look after the weasels when I go to Barcelona in January?', but I think I might have found someone...
