Hi all,
 
It has been a long time since I have posted here on the FML.  I have been
kind of hiding.  After the loss of two close ferret friends in VA I have
kind of been in slump.  Although I know that the reunion at the Rainbow
Bridge was something of a colossal scale, it is still hard to not be able
to talk to our friends, both human and fuzzy.
 
I left truck driving 2 years ago and I will graduate with my Associates
Degree this April.  I am going to be moving to the Ogden, UT area on
May 1st.  I have been offered a full-tuition scholarship to Weber State
University and so I will transfer there to pursue a Bachelor's Degree.
To my surprise, I have found a number of apartments that will allow me to
have ferrets, with a deposit of course.  However, I would really like to
find a basement apartment in a house.  If anyone knows of anyone in Ogden
that is looking to rent out an apartment that is attached to a house
please let me know.
 
I am looking for a place to live for a couple of years and have found that
the best places are usually those apartments that are attached to a house,
opposed to actual apartment complexes.
 
As for my kids, they are doing as well as can be expected.  Billy has
insulinoma and is on dexamethazone.  It works well to control the
insulinoma, however it now appears that he has Lymphosarcoma.  He had
surgery from Dr. Weiss a couple of years ago, in which his left adrenal
gland was remove and a portion of his pancreas.  He is now about 6 years
old.  Due to his medical history and his age, I have opted to not have
surgery done.  I have told him that as long as he is doing well and want
to stay, that I will help him as much as possible.  However, once he is
ready to join his brother and other friends at the rainbow bridge, I will
help him cross.
 
Doris and Abu had surgery, where both were found to have cancer on both
adrenal glands.  Doris and Abu had both of their adrenal glands removed.
This was back in November.  They are now both doing wonderful.  They have
both grown a full coat back and neither one is on any meds.
 
Klondike, Chance, and Cutie are all doing well with no health problems.
 
I will offer a prayer for all of those kids who are ill and those who
have recently crossed.
 
Sincerely,
 
Jason Poole
