I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, Judy, Linda, Julie and the MANY, many volunteers for the IFC for putting together yet ANOTHER fantastic time. Thank you Renee for DONATING and cooking the food for the SOS picnic in the park. Although mommie never made it out, many people don't know just how much you did. mommie had lots of fun kissing stuff. Geez, i thought her lips were gonna fall off when she started kissing Travis's stuffed Black Footed Ferret! Then Saturday night, Donna came out dressed as a person sized ferret and well, mommie had to kiss her too! i've been visiting auntie Lisa in her sleep while she was going through the ordeal with her broken leg. she never knows i'm there, but i've been watching over her. i do hope she feels better soon - mommie wanted to thank you for the great back rub!!! Auntie Alicia's Airport Diner woes were mirrored by many. There was the lady who's strawberries were dumped on her boyfriend and the waitress who yelled at the ferret lover who ordered salad. i think they were just overwhelmed by so many guests at once! So uncle Bob, next year in Toronto, we'll get ya cooking for Alicia since you offered <grin> BAD auntie Linda for embarrassing mommie with that award! i think she is still red in the face. You made her cry and she loves you all for what you said. mommie had many favorite moments at this year's symposium, way too many to mention. What she will remember most is the kindness and compassion of many ferret people, stuck together in the love of their babies all hugging and laughing and having a ball. Thank you IFC volunteers for another fun and terrific time. My love to you all, Harley "Bug" The Ferret Aid Society "For the Love of our Fuzzy Friends" <http://www.ferretaid.org/> [Posted in FML issue 4868]
