I have goosebumps!  It is so heartwarming to see how folks who truly
understand the depth of feeling for our pets can pull together like this
for a complete stranger.  This man may be fighting for his life and you
folks are taking time out of your schedule to make sure that he does not
have to sacrifice any more than he has already.  I'm sure that this is
such a comfort to him to have his loved ones nearby and know that they
are cared for.
 
This is a lesson for many of us.  This is the essence of what we should
try to achieve.  So many ferret clubs spend so much time bickering and
suffering from so much internal upheaval based on personality conflicts
and differences in beliefs.  This is what we need to focus on.  This is
what it is about.  I would love to see somekind of article written about
this and updates given to reenergize club members who have stopped
participating due to burnout and just sheer frustration.  This should be
an example for all of us and a tool for reenergizing our groups.
 
You guys have really touched me.  Thanks for giving me added faith in
mankind!  Thank you, thank you, thank you.
