Dad asked me to email all of you to left you know he will be away from his computer for a couple of days. he had to fly out to California because his mom had a stroke. She is ok (they got the clot medicine in her really fast), but dad felt he needed to stay there a few days anyway. Dad also asked me to tell you that Bear did ok in surgery. Because dad is not at home, the vet kept Bear overnight and I will get him in the morning. Andrew, Gloria and I will be watching the ferrets until dad gets back in a couple of days. Sorry this is the same post I am sending everyplace else, but I am really tired. I just got off a 24 hr shift. Thanks Elizabeth [Posted in FML issue 3236]
