I haven't been on the list long. I have noticed that there are not many cute, funny, silly, and/or happy ferrets being ferrets stories. Perhaps what Gary was trying to say is that is is very hard to read a lot of down stuff about ferrets with out much up stuff. I can understand the need to share when bad things happen. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine to. There doesn't seem to be many laughs shared on this list. I think it would be cool if more laughs were shared in addtion to the tears. Just my two cents.
