I started sharing my life with ferrets, when my adopted daughter introduced me to the loveable weasels. She also introduced us to fancy rats, mice, gerbels, hampsters, guinnia (sp?)pigs, etc. and I have suffered many broken hearts at the passing of each living and loving creature that God has blessed us with. I believe that we shall all be reunited with our furry loved ones, as well as feathered loved ones and, oy vay, even our humaan-bean loved ones. For God Loves all of His Creation and will receive it back to Himself. It is written that "The Lion will lay down with the Lamb" and I find it impossible to believe that He who is LOVE, would allow His Creation's Creatures that express the joy of living and loving to no longer exist. We will see them again at the Rainbow Bridge. I only pray that I am as good and my beloved fuzzies think I am. Rev.Ronald L. Sims, D.D. [Posted in FML issue 2949]
