Hello, I just wanted to say thank you to all the wonderful people on the FML. I've gotten so many sweet replies, that I spent the better part of the past 3 days crying... I feel so lucky to be able to reach out to such compassionate folks like yourselves. (Us ferret people may be a little weird, but we sure are a caring lot!) I never, in my heart, wanted to give up Bean and Daggett, but I think I just needed to be reassured that I wasn't being a bad ferret mom. I love my two koo-koo's with all my heart and only want what's best for them. Unfortunatley, I do not have a seperate room for my fuzzies and I am EXTREMELY jealous of those of you who do ; ) but I've started to let them out in the mornings while I'm getting ready for work (picture that wacky fresh-out-of-the-shower-dance we humans must do to keep away the lick-lick-chompers) And I'm going to try to get up an hour earlier so they can have 2 hours in the morning. I will thank all who replied personally...It may take me a little while, but I will! Thanks again to everyone on the FML, especially to BIG for allowing all of us to communicate! Without the FML, I wouldn't have anyone to "talk ferrets" with. (My friends cringe whenever I start to say something about them...) Take care all, Leslie Bean (I know you're sad mom...so here's a...blech...kiss...okay...now can I have another raisin?) Daggett (mmm...wet ankles..and knees...and toes...) [Posted in FML issue 2989]
