Another thought for this man would be to take up donations for a pet sitter or some kind hearted person to come in and spend some time with the ferrets. If I were closer I'd offer. But I don't think driving 10 hours each way would fit into my work schedule :-( I can't think of a time when I would need my ferrets near me more than a time like he is going through. It would be less stressful for the ferrets and a much needed relief for this poor man. Damn, I wish I could help. [Posted in FML issue 4498]
