Ferret Dad Robert is making the best of tour duty in Iraq. He has sent along a communication as he breaks camp. Sending special greetings to his two legged kiddos Brittany & Bobby! If you have time try to drop him a note- I am sure that mail form ferret lovers will cheer him on until his return home. Cindy & Randy at Fidget's House continue to keep up with the medical care of his four elder Ferret Wise fosters. Sincerely, Shelter Mom Alicia .... Hello all.............. another hot day here in hell. things are ok I guess. more nonsense than common sense. feels very uncomfortable. this will probably be the last e-mail from me until we get "home". and greg, you are right on a couple of things. the heat, it hit 130 today. almost unbearable. with the wind, it feels like100 degree heat being blown into your face. OUCH. and on the other. can you blame him, especially with the conditions. but true, it doesn't account for the behavior tho. maybe a little time away might help?????????? but anyway. I'm glad Brit is keeping in contact with ma, Robbie...... please give Nana & Papa a call, ok. even just to say Hi...and you are still on the planet ok. they miss you too. even an e-mail. But anybody interested in sending care packages, here is a few items that we ca n definately use: baby wipes, snacks like slim jims or beef jerky. would like to see some maple jerky too if possible, that spray that takes away odors, not lysol can't remember the name, ma knows tho, also things like soap,shampoo, toothpaste, etc.,etc., you get the idea. little things that matter. but if you ship any of that, try to ship the food separate. bad things have happened when shipped altogether. imagine jerky tasting like deodorant.......yuckie. ok, well, gotta go. time is getting short here. we will be moving on. just remember, life is too short to waste away from family. enjoy every minute of it. even if its 5 minutes. Until next time............................... SPC Robert Lincoln Lynch HHC 1/172 Armor 2 BCT Task Force Saber Camp Buering, Kuwait " First Vermont " [Posted in FML issue 4935]
