Carol just e-mailed me with the latest on the litter of 9 ferts. As you may remember, they were born Sunday AM. One died just after birth. Monday night Mom lay on them and 4 did not survive her weight leaving 4 to lump rugs, bite ankles, and beg for raisins. I just got a note from Carol (Oregon State area) and she still has 4 babies so looks like they will survive. Here I am 2,500 miles away and am just as excited as if they were here. Ha! I sent a pic to the nearly 30 people that asked for one, hope they all got to see those 12 hour old ferts ! An amazing miracle of life for sure. Gordon and Byte-me [Posted in FML issue 4519]
