To those on the list that have lost precious, dear ones, my heart goes out to you. To those precious, dear ones that are preparing for surgery, you are in my prayers. Life has been most unkind to me lately and I have so many messages to answer, it seems easiest to do it this way. I was not kidnapped, I did not run away from home and I did not get lost in the park. There simply has not been enough hours in the day to do all I need to do! My daughter has had Drivers Ed every night-which means I leave the house at 8am to go to work and stumble in about 9pm only to fall in bed so I can get up and do it again! I was so tired after 3 weeks of this schedule that I went to bed Friday at 10pm and slept until after four on Saturday afternoon!!! I feel better! But in attempting to catch up I find that I have missed so much! Kooking shows and catapults, jousting and red wagons? After reading the antics of these wild and crazy people-not mentioning any names, I am just so very thankful that my guys are sweet, innocent and NORMAL ferrets!!! I can't even begin to imagine my ferrets trying to "pult" one of my cats! Poor thing would have a heart attack! And what were we "feeding the herons'? Isn't there some sort of law to protect them? Thankfully, my ferrets are perfect angels! Anyway, it does seem I have missed a lot! I will try to keep up better! For those who asked: Hope took her Distemper shot without any reaction! (Yippee!) And after examining Einstein, he agrees that the hairloss on the tail could very well signify the onset of adrenal, but since there seems to be no unusual swelling or bumps that he could feel, he wants to wait until Einy's annual exam in March to see if anything else has developed! Hope goes in for her Rabies shot this afternoon. I will try to get around to answering my messages-but work has been a zoo! It seems everyone wants to go someplace WARM!! Me included! Hey CJ!! Up for a visitor this coming weekend! I am flying in Friday night-Sunday is pretty much booked but would love to see you on Saturday! I have been saving a special hug for a certain little white girl you have!!!! ===== Judy Cooke Tyson, Hope, and Einstein "The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything."
