I have to write to say I enjoyed the bat story in the FML - the visual I had of the hubby screaming like a girl was just too much. Also, Todd Leuthold's stories always make me laugh - the tattoo explanation was hilarious and I was laughing out loud in my office. I think Todd could have written his own ferret chronicles which, upon reading, are a delight and I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading. We need more humor, more smiles and less arguing. It just wears me out. Alexandra....... where are you?????? Looking forward to the Buckeye Bash. I have to say I'm quite proud to be involved with the HOFA folks in Columbus, Ohio, especially Scarlett Gray-Saling, Kay Amrine and Kim Wolf. These three ladies have all taught me a lot and I'm proud to say I hang out with them a little for the sake of our ferrets. These guys (and the rest of the HOFA folks) do a lot, love a lot and sacrifice a lot. Scarlett taught me more at my first ferret awareness day in a local Petsmart than I ever knew about handling, health issues and ferrets around kids. These three never get mad at me for asking stupid questions and I do ask a lot! I have been made to feel welcome by everyone. I have to say that, personally, everyone I have ever met through the love of ferrets has been a phenomenal person, caring and helpful to a fault. I only hope to be half as ferret-savy as my friends in HOFA. They're a great bunch of folks!!!!! [Posted in FML issue 3869]
