David, I just wanted you to know that I am rooting for Vinnie. I actually think the little bugger will make it home. I've been keeping up with the saga of Vinnie, and let me tell you - I think Vinnie has to be one tough old weasel. If there's any ferret that can live in a shed in a lumber yard and eat wild rodents for breakfast, it's Vinnie. Hope, if you're listening, send out a big ethereal smoke signal for Vinnie so that he can make it home safe and sound. I'll put in my two cents to St. Franky. Everyone else, if you would, take a second to send good thoughts Vinnie's way so that he might use them like radar and get his butt home. It can't hurt. I'm really rooting for you, Vinnie. I'm really tired of unhappy endings. Give me a good one, would you? --------------- To Vinnie - "May the mice be slow and your feet be fast." - traditional Irish/Welsh blessing, usually used for blessing forlorn cats and other beasties (OK, so it's not that traditional. You get the point.) --------------- Roary Albuquerque, NM blog - http://ferretphilosophy.blogspot.com/ [Posted in FML issue 5108]
