I got the thing from Mike, too. I thought it was from Mike Janke, but when I started reading it, I knew Mike J. wouldn't have sent me that. Double checked the sender; didn't have a clue. It was gross, and not funny. Some things are cute; this wasn't. Still way behind in the FML, trying to catch up....Fang is doing well on his .5 ml of Pred, but am going in for a glucose test today to see if we need to up it. I'm so happy to see him acting fairly spiffy (though not a wall-bouncer; he has always been laid back, and just sort of *hangs out* looking sweet and happy.) Remember what Judy Cooke said last month about telling your vet to put you down as a donor for fert blood if you have a healthy one at home. Just think of the little life you might save. I still think about it every day; how Fang was dying, and a ferret donor was found the last minute...a very special blessing, and one that I did not take lightly. I still get something in my eye (I think that was Judy's thing, also) every time I remember them rushing him in to save Fang when he was bleeding inside and crying (along with me, big time). Think about it; don't put it off. There will be a special place in Heaven for you with no corner poopies to wipe up.Your litter pans will be hit every time. If you had something awful happen, (or WONDERFUL), and I did not read about it yet, please know that I care about you all; you are the best bunch of people I've ever encountered in such great numbers all in one place. :-) Think Spring (we still have snow), and happy tails, lizzi and Fang [Posted in FML issue 2989]
