I've got to put myself in Valerie's shoes to even begin to make a comment here, but I also know what I would do if I were in the shoes of the person who she gave the ferrets to. First I want to commend her for the courage it takes to join the military at a time when our country is so war hungry. That takes guts. To have it fall through has to be terribly disappointing. To have to live with the sacrifice of giving up the ferrets has got to be heartbreaking. If I were Valerie I would ask for the ferrets back and if I were the person in current charge of the ferrets, I would more than willingly give them back, especially Buckie who does not seem to be handling the move very well. It's obvious where he "belongs". Kim at SUMS Fuzzy Hugs from Kim and da kids at Somethin Up My Sleeve Rescue Ask me how you can virtually eliminate the need for veterinary dental visits.
