I FINALLY received my copy of "Ferrets for Dummies" by Kim Schilling and have not been able to put it down! I think it should be REQUIRED READING for anyone even thinking about adopting a ferret. I have learned so many things I never dreamed I needed to know! But the BEST part is what I discovered before I even started in on chapter one. I decided to read the "Praise" section of the book first, to see what others thought about it. Then, I went onto the acknowledgments by the author and publisher. And I realized that I was recognizing MANY of the names mentioned...and then it dawned on me..these contributors to this awesome book were all regular posters on the FML! And that just blew me away! I mean, I knew when I joined the FML that I was dealing with intelligent, knowlegable people, but I had no idea how many of you are leaders and/or experts in your field and communities! I am so grateful that I found the FML and that there are good people out there who take the time out of their busy schedules to be a part of the wonderful service that is the FML. You have made me feel so welcome already, it is as though I am among friends. And I think I speak for the rest of us who may not be ferret experts (yet!) , when I say, "Thanks for your wisdom, patience and unconditional love for our animals that makes the FML what it is." I just wanted to take this opportunity to let EVERYONE know that, until a few days ago, I didn't realize what great company I am in, but I will never take it for granted again.
