Hasn’t he grown into a stunningly handsome young man? What an absolute sweetheart – how I wish I could physically hug him

I confess to being just a little nervous when I hadn’t heard from the lady for a while, hoping that it wasn’t because the little one had died so I was really pleased to get her email and see the photo she sent.

I had an email from a lady on April 4, saying that someone had brought in an animal, which was found in a ditch, into the pet store where she worked.

No one else wanted the animal so she took it home to look after, as it was very small and its eyes weren’t opened yet. She wasn’t sure what it was and described a creature which looked a bit like a ferret but was gray with a white chin and had a smell which was pretty potent.
