Furry_Angels : The Story Part 5

 Introducing The Gumnut Babies

Missing my babies back in the states, I so wanted and needed fuzzies in my life again. There was only one problem with that ... what happens if Australia doesnt allow FD to stay, what will happen then ? I didnt want to adopt any new fuzzies for one it didnt feel right although I had so much love in my heart to share I just couldnt deal with the thought of leaving behind any babies ever again.

So I involved myself more in my ferret sites and looked at pics of friends ferrets and chatted away about the things they were getting into. I lived through them the joy and happiness and even sadness of being a ferret mum. I even met new friends in Australia Dave and Becka, we would visit just to get a cuddle from their ferret Akysha driving 2 1/2 hours each way and sometimes staying over the weekend :) 

I hit depression pretty bad or it hit me and still haunts me on occasion, talking about it now I think I know what a mum feels like when she has to give up her baby for adoption or pretty darn close to knowing how it feels. I doubt if I will ever get over having to give up my babies, thats what they were to me, FD and I are in our 40's and even though I have 2 grown children , FD doesnt have any but only the furkids so yes they are our babies in every sence of the word.

I yearned for more to fill the void I now had in my heart but not knowing if Australia would accept FD I didnt want to go through the pain of having to leave any more behind or any of the new ferrets having to be rehomed again. So we waited till FD got his residencey as soon as we heard it was approved we contacted the NSW ferret welfare and adopted SnugglePot and CuddlePie, the were severe biters and had many homes over their short 3 years of life but kept ending back at the ferret welfare they have been with us now for just over 1 year and have come along way in their biting but still are severe biters to strangers and only occasionally to me, their bite today is still a bite not a nip but I have learnt to read the situations and can end them quickly. I get face kisses now with Cuddles doing the old lick lick chomp but that is a nip!! and I am happy to get that :)

Just recently I had that itch you know that I want a baby itch , Ferret Math Itch! YES you know the one!!! I had drempt about getting a little white girl and in the dream I was sure it was my deaf girl Ida back home , in the dream FD and luna were saying no its not Ida its your new ferret you have to choose from the pixie names. When I told them about the dream they told me they were planning on surprising me with a new ferret for our anniversary which is christmas eve but that was 4 weeks away and how could they hide a ferret from me. So we rang the ferret welfare, my wishlist....well I asked for a cuddly little girl as I have enough on my plate with the bitey boys and they said they have a little girl that would be just perfect, she follows you like a little puppy, gets up on your lap for a cuddle. she never nips and she is a real sweetheart..... BUT .... but what ??? She had been in rescue for nearly 1 year because no one wanted her .....I thought oh no whats wrong and the lady then said she is Albino is that okay ? Okay YES its okay !!! So we went and picked up Speedy and changed her name to Blossum I call her sweetie and she comes to Blossum, she everything they had promised me and more, she is the sweetest thing I have ever known and she fills my heart with happiness and made that void a little easier to live with these days and to think no one wanted her because of her colour !

and I am not going anywhere with out my business again!
