Ferret Visit

Well - I broke down today and on my lunch hour and went to visit the baby ferrets today.  There are about seven of them at the pet store - they are all boys and they are all cute.  There are a couple I think are super cute - but I know the hubs is not in the market for an addition to the zoo.

I always struggle with this - we have different philosophies, the husband and I.  He thinks we have enough and that we don't need any more babies.  I agree - its not about need - we don't need another ferret.  My philosophy is that I was put here to give as many babies a good home as possible.  I feel like there is always room if we can afford it and if they are getting good care.  I am cognizant of becoming the crazy cat lady - I would never get to the point of having critters who live in squalor and are not well cared for.  But - if we have the means - we should expand - lord knows there is certainly room in my heart!  I also realize that having 9 critters is nuts.  What can I say?

The other reason I would consider a ferret now is Madison.  We waited four years between Clooney and Madison and it was just too long.  Clooney forgot what it was like to be a ferret - he was around cats and dogs for such a long time that when we brought Madison into the family he didn't quite know what to think.  Madison is 16 months old - I don't want to wait too long to get her a playmate.

I think the hubs is going to stand tough on this one - he is pretty adamant.  Maybe I can get him to go over there and look - doubtful.  Maybe we can take Maddie over there to meet them and she can pick her own playmate.  Doubt he will go for that either. We will have to see...
