Missed the start of this thread, but here goes: Michelle and Jon checking in from Temple Terrace, FL, with 1 ferret here (Cheshire, silver mitt, 9 years and 2 months old) and 1 at the Bridge (The March Bear, known as Bear, passed on from complications arising from chemotherapy, April 21, 2003 at 7 years 10 months). Our best to everyone, and especially to those with sick and dying fuzzies -- we wish you and your loved ones comfort and peace. Best, Michelle, Jon, The Cheshire Ferret and Cathain (our 3 yr. old Bengal kitty) [Posted in FML issue 4378]
