Dear all,
 
I've been meaning to write for some time about Tally's progress.  He had
his spleen and left adrenal gland removed three weeks ago and is now
officially out of the woods (apparently!).  Phew.  I'm trying to improve
his weight gain but all the recipes for Duck Soup seem to include baby food
which he absolutely will not touch -- I've tried loads of ways.  I'll post
his results as soon as I get them as it may help someone else.  Thank you
all for your love and support at such a scary time.  Big huffs (dooks) from
Tally too.
 
Re: a couple of other points on the FML, one from F. Scott Giarrocco about
his answer to "Can we please have more happy stories/good news!"  I think
he's made a very good point in explaining (as we know) that it's not all
fun (see above) and potential care-givers should know the other side of
life with ferts.  However, I must congratulate all FMLers on providing a
good balance in the main.
 
Re: Bob C: More on Old Age, Thank you AGAIN for such an informative posting
and I will also be copying this if that's okay.  I was originally informed
that ferret's lived 7 -- 10 years minimum so found this interesting.  And
I loved Melissa Barnes haiku -- cracked me up at work and gets my vote!!!
Keep 'em coming!
 
Luv Susan.
