Hi everyone. Well, I'm still lurking here after all those months ago when everyone helped my kids out. Here is the latest. Pip and Angel are 100% recovered from their surgeries. Pip is back to his normal bully self, he looks great and is feeling great. Angel is just that, my little angel. Happy with all her brothers and sisters and loves to play now. Our funny story...Pip is terrified of Luna. Now this in itself it quite funny because A) Pip is a bully B) Luna is 1/2 his size and C) It serves him right! We have a hidey hole thing that the kids play in, Luna will be in the tube and when Pip walks by she will pop out and bite him. He then runs to the other side of the room to get away from her. The other day when Pip was beating on someone my husband put him in his cage for a time-out. Pip kept pacing, trying to get the others through the bars, and in general being a bully again so hubby put Luna in the cage with him. He said it was like watching a Scooby Doo cartoon where they are running in and out of doorways! Scooter is in need of adrenal surgery now. I suspected as much a few months ago, but its obvious now. I called the vet and he is again, going to work with us on price so I can get my little Dooter in there. Dweezil is a rat tail no longer. After just 3 washings with Phisoderm, I'm happy to say that all his hair grew back after 2 years of being bald. And I can now say that I have witnessed a male ferret who is aroused. Lets just say that Ozzy was a little excited the other day, it was quite and eyeful! As for myself and hubby. He was finally approved for disability and we are paying off all the past dues and owed bills. We will not be getting rich off this but at least now I don't have to worry about utilities being shut off and how I can afford food for us. The best news is that I got a raise at work. So things are getting better slowly. I just remember everything happens for a reason and I accept that this is the best for now. Carrie [Posted in FML issue 3019]
