Thank you so much for sharing that story. I work for a company that has 6 assisted living facilities in Texas for people with Alzheimer's and other dementias. I'm the accountant so I don't work with the residents on a daily basis. One of the things that makes our facilities unique is that we allow residents to have a pet, and we often bring in animals for pet therapy for the residents. There's even a group called Hearts and Hooves that uses miniature horses! I haven't brought any of my ferrets to any of our facilities, but I may just have to do that. I'd love to see how the residents react! Connie Distributor for Natural Gold Ferret Food [Posted in FML issue 4977]
