First off, let me assure everyone that I am not an authority on anything. Well, the exception to that would be the love of my fur kids and depending on what day it is, my husband...LOL I've been reading the posts here on the FML for the past couple of weeks. It's a proven fact that you aren't going to get a room full of ferret folks to agree on everything. We ALL love our ferrets and hopefully make the right decisions when it comes to their care. We can sit here and go back and forth on any given topic. It's a fact that some folks on this list are more knowledgeable about some subjects than others. That's why the list is here. BUT, to get in to a peeing contest over certain topics is a little nuts, considering the amount of SERIOUS things out there harming our babies! The following are a few of the subject's that have gotten a little crazy! The topics in question are: To raisin or not to raisin.............To feed mice, live or deceased.... To support a shelter or not to...these are the questions! Keep in mind, these are MY opinions and don't reflect anyone else's view but MINE! I think that we are all reasonably intelligent folks and are capable of making wise choices when it comes to the health and welfare of our animals. Of course, I have wondered sometimes when I read some of the post here on the FML. No matter what loving creature you have, we need to remember the joy and happiness they bring to our lives. So, break out the flame throwers and torches'. I got my fire retardant suit out of storage just for this occasion. Please know this was not intended to offended anybody... Everything in moderation folks. For the ferrets, Linda Lake Fuzzy Follies House of Bedlam and Chaos!!!! :):) [Posted in FML issue 5216]
