My heart felt condolences to all who've lost their beloved fur kids, or
have ill ones. I'm still working through the e-mails on Sally and will
answer each and every one. I wanted you to know that we had a necropsy
on her. She had lymphosarcoma in the liver, lungs, and I can't remember
the other spot. The right adrenal was huge, left was getting there. The
vet and I agreed that I kept her out of excruciating pain by releasing
her spirit on Tuesday, and I know she's well. Thank you all so much for
you kind thoughts and words.
Now for a question. A year or so ago I purchased a ferret memory box
from Widget's Halfway House. I know Jim no longer has the shelter, but
does anyone know the lady who created these boxes for him? I'm going to
need another one, I fear.
Alexandra, I read about your violet the other morning while getting ready
for work. You know, I thought I was going to snort Cheerios out my nose!
You gave me such a great laugh! And Tara, thank you-if you were a ferret
you could come here. Heck, c'mon down anyway!
On the symposiums. I had the great honor to attend Ferrets 2000, and
then Ferrets 2002. I don't know if I'll be able to make it to Atlanta,
but I encourage you if you can go, please do so! I met so many wonderful
people at both of these, and I've had the most awesome room mates. In
Vegas Marsha Crowell, Wolfy and I were roommates, and they were so
wonderful. In Toronto Pat Andrews and two other great ladies from
Canada. I've gotten to meet my heroine, Randy Belair. My sweet-kisses
and hugs to you. I've got to meet Betty & James (Betty and her blur o'
fur) great friends! Sally "I'm a ferret holic" Germaine, Judy Cooke,
Alicia Drakiotes, so many I can't begin to name them. Meeting Jean
Carley in Vegas so was wonderful. So folks, if you can go, I do so
encourage you. You hear wonderful speakers, but the experience of
being around ferret folks is the most awesome thing about it.
