Thank you so much for your loving thoughts. I have another baby that is in trouble right now, which unbelievably began with an ear infection, he has been to the vet twice now and has gone up and down. Today he has began bleeding from his ear. I can only hope something can be done tommorrow that will cure him, if he can make it through the night. These pure and precious creatures can seem to go through hell in such a short lifetime. They must really achieve many levels in the afterlife. Perhaps that's what all our last test in this universe is. To be pure of heart, give nothing but joy and love to those around us and in the end suffer tremendous pain and agony with dignity, and leave a lasting impression of selflessness on those we leave behind....perhaps our last level is that of a fuzzy little baby called a ferret. I would be honored if that were our fate, as I feel they are so much more advanced in their little souls than any person I have ever encountered. I just know they occupy the same space as our higher power when they cross over, and am thankful I have so many angels helping me through life. [Posted in FML issue 4424]
