Greetings. I'm sure I don't have too much to say about the "Annoyed" post that everyone else hasn't already pointed out. I just gotta drop in my two cents. When I read that post, I almost cried. I'm normally not so precious or sensitive, but it was sort of mean to pee all over something that other people really like and sometimes really need! I think maybe "Annoyed" needs some sympathy herself. Silly Girl, is your life so empty that you can't use a little imagination to comfort yourself and others? I'm not saying it IS, but I'm trying to illustrate that the "Rainbow Bridge" is a beautiful and useful "belief" for those who like it, and harmless for those who don't. A couple of other points: I have two pet rats and a foster rat who I am resocializing. They're affectionate, wonderful creatures. I don't believe in feeding creatures to other creatures, and will probably never have a pet who needs live food. I like to think my ratties will wait for me at the bridge! And no, I don't think the ferrets will eat them there. It's kind of like the Redwall books or Richard Bach's ferret books -- you have to be a little flexible in your imagination! :) Thanks for listening. I could go on, but I have to go to work, luckily for all of you! love and ferrets, christine and the wad of cats, ferrets and rats. ===== ------------------------------------ christine belsom [log in to unmask] ICQ# 3937465 ------------------------------------- [Posted in FML issue 3906]
