Thank you Thank you all for sending messages to my son Josh's E-mail regaurding Mikey's upcoming surgery. He was so excited when he got home and found over 30 messages of well wishes and great stories. As per one suggestion he is using this time to really streangthen his bond with Mikey so he is better able to be a part of the recovery process. He is feeding Mikey duck soup every several hours and doing alot of cuddling time. He sews and he is hoping to be able to make Mikey a little shirt since he lost his fur but so far has been unable to come up with a pattern. Joshua is a very special 16 yr old boy who lost everything he had to depend on in life very abruptly just a little over a year ago and since we adopted Josh last April and our ferrets last november they have very much been a part of Josh's adjustment and recovery and I explained to him that this is his chance to give back to Mikey and be there for him when he needs him as Mikey was for him. We have 4 ferrets and Mikey is our dominating male and becouse of his personality he is Josh's favorite and there is a very special bond between Josh and Mikey. All the letters that Josh recieved served as such a blessing and encouragement to him and helped calm his fear of losing Mikey. A special thank you Jasmine and Tasha your letter really made him laugh and feel better and a huge hug to April who has put so much time into teaching us about this and going way out of her way to help out. Hugs and Dooks to everyone, Tanya and the whole crew [Posted in FML issue 3000]
