Wow! I have gotten so many positive replies and support from that simple post that I don't know what to say! (And not one flame). Apparently, there are many more in the same situation than I ever thought. To all those who have written, I want to say "Thanks!" for your encouragement, support and ideas. I feel better just knowing that *I* (*we*) are not alone. Maybe we need an "Impoverished Ferret Owners Club" or something! It sounds like it would go over big (as long as the dues are $0.00 :o). Again, thanks! Gary, Bart and Victoria [Posted in FML issue 4296]
