Hi all, how do you pronounce aleutions? is it like it sounds? Thanks so much. Hi Gillian! A belated welcome to the list, I'm usually out of time, by the time i READ the list, so I rarely have time to post. I'd like to write you if you don't mind...my husband was recently in South Africa, and I dream of going next time..(.though who would watch all my ferrets?hee) If there were a way possible, I'd gladly share a couple of kids (ferrets) with you, they are fixed, is that the only requirement? You sound like you'd be a GREAT parent :) We have beautiful pictures of Durban, do you ever think you might visit the U.S.? Hope to hear from ya!
