My son doesn't have A.D.D. or mental diagnoses, but he is fifteen homebound with chronic migraine and he battles with depression as a result. He bought his now ten-month-old ferret Daxter for his birthday last January and that little furbie is the best thing for lifting his (and our) spirits. Just to look at his cute little nosy face is sometimes all that's needed to bring a chuckle to one's heart. [Posted in FML issue 3920]
