I have patiently read and re-read request for financing a bronze memorial for a recently deceased ferret. I'm questioning the judgement used in this request as I read posts asking for help in this forum, from many selfless caregivers of the many shelters that contribute here. Shelter owners who have given everything they can to provide comfort and dignity to their charges. I can certainly understand the wishes to offer a form of "remembrances" to a lost pet. Lord knows we have all lost kids who's memories still touch out hearts in that special way. BUT, don=92t you think these contributions would be better used for food, or medication, even a few rare toys for these shelter kids. In my humble opinion, the request is a bit self serving, and certainly an extravagance for many. Lets think about the ones with us today.
