I wonder how the husband will feel when his kids still have health problems
a year after the ferrets are gone.  "Yes honey, I guess I was wrong, but we
can always get you *new* ferrets!" ::sigh:: I'm sure this is going to build
up a huge amount of resentment and anger between the couple..  Ignorance is
a sad thing..
