Central Ave. >Clayton, MO 63105 >(314) 615-2600 Thank you for posting this information. I'm quoting it to make it easier for others to find it in case they missed it. I am still in shock that someone could do this. Last night I held our Koosh (a rare event -- he's an angora who never sleeps). I just listened to him breath and felt his warmth on my legs. I cried, thinking about that little ferret who was brutally murdered. I felt the joyous weight of caring for a living creature and wondered how anyone could not feel the connection I was feeling at that moment. It's the same feeling I get when I hold a human baby -- the trust, the life. I hope I never understand how a person (term used loosely) could abuse that trust, could harm an animal. --Mary & the Fuzzies ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mary & The Modern Ferrets Trixie, Koosh, & Gabby Read my blog -- http://www.modernferretblog.com/mary [Posted in FML issue 4055]
