David, I totally understand. My friends don't understand why I would rather spend $100.00 to help a shelter than go to a fancy dinner. I sit and watch them sleep and know what true bliss is. Butch and Maggie came to me 3 years ago this weekend. I have spent more money, energy, and tears worrying about them then many people I know. They don't understand how poopies in corners don't upset me. But there is nothing in the world I would trade for the look of contentment on their faces when they eat their gravy or lap up their Ferretone. Happiness is a warm fuzzy ferret (sorry Peanut's gang) Connie, Butch, Maggie, and CB "I am sometimes asked, "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men? I answer, "I am working at the roots." George T. Angell [Posted in FML issue 3725]
