Some of you have visited Richard's Xmas Tail page and wanted to party with
him -- or was that your ferrets on the computer?  Whatever, it's a bit late
for that now.  The little guy passed away under anesthetic while having a
blood sample taken.
 
Of all the DUMB ways to go!  I'm am POSTIVE that he planned it!  He was
facing kidney problems, which I'm told is a nasty way to pass on, and
probably had adrenal problems as well.  Seeing a quick way out of this, and
catching a glimpse of his old buds beckoning from the other side, the rest
was a no brainer.  He went over.  Nothing else makes sense.  This critter
ALWAYS got his way.  The other side of the rainbow bridge has become

Well, THAT is a whole differerent story.  Keep watching this space for
the URL.
 
Take care,
