Thanks to all who sent me condolences- they help so much. Many people say they are sorry, but look at me in that way that says "it's a ferret, get over it", and it's good to know some people really do know. Thanks especially to sirron from Mich.- He sent my girls a card- which made me smile for the first time in 3 days. I pick Bandit's ashes up today. On a happier note- I had to do something yesterday to get out of the house, so we loaded up the miniature horses and took them hiking. I couldn't leave the girls, so took them and put them in a special backpack for the mini's, so they went as well. Dogs went as well, so it was a nice day- a picture of Bandit went with us. Gather up the ones you have and kiss them as often as you can- it's over far too soon. Gerri, Maggie, Maru, Colby &Mattea. Missing Lady, Treasure, Rio, Bandit, & Quigley [Posted in FML issue 3943]
