ONE OF OUR FAMILY FAVORITES TO WATCH ON TV IS ANIMAL DRS ON THE ANIMAL
PLANET STATION.  HAVING SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRITTERS IN OUR
HOUSEHOLD, I HAVE PICKED UP ALL KIND OF TIPS & BITS OF INFO FROM THIS
STATION.  ANY WAY, WE WERE WATCHING ANIMAL DRS TONIGHT AND THEY HAD A
SEGMENT THAT WAS ABOUT A FERRET.  FIVAL WAS A LOVELY 4 YR OLD SABLE.  HE HAD
BEEN BROUGHT IN BECAUSE HE WAS "WADDLING" KIND OF ODD AND HAD A BULGY
ABDOMEN.  THE DIAGNOSIS WAS AN ENLARGED SPLEEN AND SURGERY WAS DONE.  IT WAS
VERY INTERESTING TO SEE.  THEY EVEN SHOWED THE SURGERY AND THE SPLEEN
ITSELF.  EVEN BETTER TO SEE THE HAPPIER FEELING FERRET GOING HOME.  I HOPE
THEY DO MORE SEGMENTS ON THESE SHOWS FOR SOME OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT US
FERRET OWNERS FACE.  SEEMS TO MAKE THINGS A TINY BIT LESS SCARRY IF YOU HAVE
HAD A GLIMPS OF IT IF YOU HAVEN'T EXPERIANCED IT YET.
 
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO THE PERSON WHO (A FEW MONTHS BACK)
MENTIONED ABOUT A PLACE THAT WOULD MAKE CUSTOM DESIGNED CHECKS.  I HAD
ENQUIRED ABOUT WHAT THEY HAD AND THEY SENT ME THEIR INFORMATION AS WELL AS
SOME SAMPLES OF THEIR FERRET PICTURES ALONG WITH OTHERS.  THEY WERE OKAY BUT
NOT EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.  I FOUND A PICTURE I LIKED AND, FOR A
SMALL SET UP FEE, THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT IT ON MY CHECKS.  I GOT THEM THIS
WEEK AND THEY WERE GREAT.  I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE PERSON WHO
POSTED ABOUT THEM.  FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN HAVING THEIR FUZZIES ON THEIR
CHECKS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK THEM OUT.  THE COMPANY IS KANSAS BANK NOTE
AND ARE IN FREDONIA.  I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER HANDY BUT YOU CAN GET THAT
FROM PHONE INFORMATION.
 
ENJOY TO ALL,
JEAN AND THE HOUSE OF MANY CRITTERS
