Just read on the internet in the Houston Cronicle that a vet who read about a shelter's plight to evacuate animals brought his horse trailer to remove all of the animals until the hurricane passes. No ferrets, but cats, dogs, g. pigs, and parrots. It's so good to see that people are getting the animals to safety besides themselves. Glad to see that the hurricane didn't do a lot of damage to the Florida Keys. They have a nice shelter down there called Stand Up For Animals. They have a big homeless problem with animals there. Maybe something to do with the transient lifestyle some people lead there. Let us pray that Hurricane Rita doesn't do the damage that Katrina did. May all of you in the hurricane's path find safety for yourselves and animals. Moxie, Nexus, Smudge, Ziggy, and Chuckie God Bless America In God We Trust [Posted in FML issue 5008]
