It's not a rumor mill if it's true. April 2002 Val had Noodles and rescued Buckie (it's in the archives) July 2002 Val posts she's going into the military and is trying to decide what to do with Noodles, Buckie, and Mojo whom she confescated from her brother because he wasn't being responsible with him. (also in the archives, her posting) October 2002 she went and got Rosie and Kokie. (in the archives, her posting) I was not bashing Val. I think she does so much for ferrets, people, shelters, this list, etc..... All I said was that she should have waited to get more ferrets until she knew for sure if she was going to be able to keep them or not. She was still trying to get in the military but was having trouble. Val is a very loving caring person and it doesn't matter to her whether it be animal or human, or even if she knows you or not. If she can help she's right there. I was NOT part of the rumor mill and so I posted this letter to prove I'm not a rumor monger. Everyone else should go to the archives and look her up. You'll see all that she's done for shelters, indiviuals, etc.. She has a HUGE heart! [HA] [Posted in FML issue 4081]
