Sassette AKA Sassy
Sassette and Buddy (soon to be renamed Bud Badger) arrived in September of 2004--right after my apartment flooded. The last thing I needed was two more ferrets added to the chaos; but they had no where else to go. Their cagemate, Link, had come to live with me several months before that (June 2004). Figuring that Link would be ecstatic to be reunited with her old cagemates, I reintroduced them. Sparks flew and it was discovered that Bud and Sassette didn't get along with other ferrets and Link wanted them dead.
Bud and Sassette were housed separately until Bud died in May 2005. At this time, I again reintroduced Sassette to the others. She didn't like them and they despised her. Sassette soon became the object of their torment. Link was mortified that Sassette had moved into her new home and led the other ferrets in a daily hate-filled series of attacks against Sassette.
On June 28, 2005, Sassette found a new home where she is the only ferret and has two cats to play with and torment. Sassette is the first and only ferret that I have ever adopted out--but it was completely in her best interest and it is something that I need to learn to do if I am ever going to have a ferret shelter. She is now know as Sassy (I always hated the name Sassette)--and it fits her well! She is doing well and I am able to visit her regularly.
Sassy also has her own blog now (full of cute pictures), which you can check out by following this link.
UPDATE 4/8/06: Sassy's home is now a two-ferret home (few ferret people can manage only having one), as she gained a new little brother, Loki, on March 31st. Sassy is reportedly not happy with the new addition and relishes in tormenting him!
FINAL POSTING 10/7/06: Sassy lost her fight with adrenal disease. This is her final posting on the ferret blog.
