Christmas presents that the novelty has worn off of.... Ah I didn't think of that I bet some of it is also with summer coming up and kids going back home from college. That really is unfourtunate. On a side note, I went into Petco yesterday and saw a whole bunch of 6 week old baby ferrets. There was this young child that was like "I want one mommy I want one!" and the mother was like "We'll come back and get it tommorow, dear". Its not that I dont think that families with children cant handle ferrets, its that I always worry "Are those little ones going to go to a good home or will they just wind up on CL or in a shelter in a few months?" Sigh, you cant save them all Giuli, you cant save them all...

Being a mother, that sounds like an avoidance response. You know, when you tell them something close to what they want to hear to keep them from throwing a fit in the store? LOL
I know what you mean, though. My biggest issue is when I'm at walmart or a petstore and I see people buying the cheap crappy ferret food, or ol' roy dog food. It takes everything in me not to go over and go through the ingredient list with them! LOL

And its not even that I want to be mean or condescending, but how on earth would you bring that up with someone WITHOUT sounding that way? You know? It sucks but I feel like its just not my place to say anything. Maybe they just dont know, or maybe they do know and just dont care, but either way its hard to say something without offering unsolliceted advice (something many/most people dont appreciate).
