Today happens to be my birthday, and I was thinking of my ferret kids at the Bridge, Al & Peggy. My former girlfriend never told me their birthdays; most likely she didn't know herself. And I had an idea. I'm sure his cagemate Peggy is at the Bridge now, and I hope she and Al found each other. Sandee, could you look them up and ask them a question for me? I want to designate today - May 22nd - as their birthdays, too, and I want to know if they think it's okay. That way I'll never forget them, and they can celebrate our birthdays at the Rainbow Bridge while I'm celebrating down here. (It's highly unlikely that they were born on the same day - I think Peggy is a few months younger than Al - but they can still have the same birthday.) Tell them that I still love them and miss them. And one more thing, Sandee - thank you for all the comfort that you bring the Mommies and Daddies here. Paul E. Jamison "There's more pressure on a vet to get it right.
