Dayna,
 
Your wrote concerning the distemper outbreak in Loss Wages, Nevada.." It is
the collective opinion that the contamination was deliberate..".
 
I really find it hard to believe that someone would knowingly contaminate
themselves (how would they really know they had it?) and then go around
targeting Ferrets in various locations.  I don't want to start a flame war
here, but this just seems off the wall to me.
 
Hey!!..  I'm the first one to say get your fuzzies innoculated, and even
then be careful!!  (Playing with little kits @ the pet store, letting people
handle your fuzzbutts, ect).  There is no telling what might be brought home
and transfered to our babies.
 
Glad to hear that all of your guys are now cool & comfortable AND you've got
your jeep out of hock.  (Did the Knight ride off on a White Horse?) I know
that you can use the donations that people sent in for the AC... use the $'s
for supplies, food, medicine or whatever the ferts need!!
 
The world *needs* more people like YOU!!!  Keep up the good work,
 
                Ken
