Sean's miracle is marvellous.  Years ago before I became disabled I worked
with people with learning difficulties, some very severe.  I often took
animals in to work to communicate with them and it worked very well.  At
a very large show recently I met two other wheelchair users with ferrets.
Animals have a sort of inner link to 'special people' and I am sure that
they understand them better than we do.  After all Dolphins know, don't
they?
 
On another note I have been lucky to have had 2 articles printed on
disabilities and ferret keeping recently.  One is a 10 page article in
Uk's Go ferret magazine no. 5. and the other is in Disability Now magazine.
Disability Now paid me so now I have all the bedding and food taken care
off for my fuzzies for a few months.  Living on disability my fuzzies
come first and are the only thing that keep me going most of the time.

A site I have which is for my ferrets.

This site was designed by my 20 year old daughter who suffers from a rare
brain condition called Psuedotumor Cerebri.
