Thanks for the information about cataracts and glaucoma, Dr. Weiss; I hadn't
realized there might be a tie-in. Chaos seems to be fine right now (he's
very bouncy and I know I don't feel like that when I have a headache <g>)
but he'll be going to the vet for tests and to have that eye looked at.
Gary--I live in Connecticut so a vet visit to Phoenix is a little out of the
way. :) But thanks for the e-mail. I do get out to Arizona about once a
year to visit a friend. But she lives near Tucson, so even when I'm "in the
neighborhood"--relatively speaking-- I'm still not really too close. And I
don't think Chaos would enjoy the plane trip; leaving the house is not his
idea of a good time. ("Me? Go outside, Mom? Whaddya, nuts?! Sit down and
let me climb into your lap.")
A note that some might find amusing/interesting: my boyfriend works as an
educational aide in a public grammar school. His special charge is a first
grader who is ADD (attention-deficit disorder, or something like that) and
is very disruptive at times. Sam has worked out an incentive program for
the child; the child's behavior is evaluated several times a day and points
are awarded for good behavior. (They are never deducted for bad; this is
purely positive reinforcement.) When a certain number of points are
reached, the child can make special requests. The #1 request? A ferret
visit from one of our crew. Nothing like getting 'em while they're young
and teaching them the joys of weasels. :)

Total Disaster)
