Jennifer, Pauly used to grind his teeth when he was sick.  The vet thought
he had a pancreatic tumor.

We had a great write up in the P.I. on Thursday.  (Danielle mentioned it
in yesterdays list and I had to do a little digging to find it.)
 
Here's the web site:

Overall not too bad an article.  Positive in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way.
With all of the bad publicity, it's nice to have some positive things to
 
say about our fuzzies.
 
Michael, I think I'm going to e-mail Mr. Hahn and let him know what a nice
article he wrote for us.  The local paper here is doing a 4-part series on
"non-traditional" pets, but they only chose birds, reptiles, rodents, and
fish.  Hopefully I can get them to add a fifth part and do ferrets too.
Maybe this article would help.
