lots of thinking
Jun. 1st, 2008 03:37 pmSo today we visited Ferrets of New England, the ferret breeder up in Methuen. ( talking about ferrets )
I feel like this is all happening so quickly and wonder if we're ready--but really, all we'd need besides the ferrets themselves is food, we've got everything else already. I just feel caught in this strange place between wanting to get ferrets for whom we could set up as perfect as possible lives from the start, versus feeling like adopting is the nobler thing to do. I'm not sure my heart can stand knowing that there's shelter ferrets that need homes. The breeder kits already have a home, and I can guarantee that whether we buy any or not, they will all be sold this season and have lovely homes with experienced ferret people (the breeder will only sell kits to those with experience). Today was a bit like a peek into a world that I wish I could stay in, but I'd have to forget the real world to do it.
