Due to inability to sleep, I read my FML at 4:16 a.m. today. Question for BIG-are you really a person or some magical being? Do you ever sleep? Either way thank you for bringing us this great forum. [Welcome! Guess you'll have to come to Ferrets 2000 to find out the rest! BIG] Second observation: Ferret owners (including myself) seem to be obsessive about their fuzzies. Is this the work of the wacky weasels to keep us enslaved to them or just my imagination? I think the little gys have something going here and can actually hypnotize us into bringing more of their friends into our home ;-) Announcement: M/FRAN (Michigan Ferret Rescue and Adoption Network) is having their 2nd Annual Walk-A-Thon on September 17, 2000 at Rotary Park in Roseville, Michigan. This will be followed by a bring-your own meat (or meat substitute) and dish to pass picnic. More information can be obtained by contacting Kris Mewton at (810) 772-3958 or e-mail Mary at [log in to unmask] Pledges will go to benefit the American Humane Society and M/FRAN shelters. I for one would greatly appeciate any pledges made in the name of my 2 adopted babies who will be walking that day. Donations can be made directly to M/FRAN in the names of Duncan and Bratina Johnson. Feel free to e-mail me for the address. Duncan and Brat are 2 of my 7 adoptees and if because of my health I cannot walk I have a substitute ready to walk them for me. Please help our non-profit cause and if you are in the area please stop by-it will be a fun time. [Posted in FML issue 3155]
