That's how I feel about the FML & all the folks that I've met either virtually on the web or in person at various ferret related events in the past. And as in any family there is bound to be bickering. But that is always followed by some kind of compromise that is reached allowing the situation to come to rest. Its that time now folks. Even if it's just for a few week so we can enjoy the "reason for the season". Lets not forget why we do what we do. Sometimes we are too close to a situation to see all the points that are, or need to be, made. Accountability is important. Also important are things like integrity, loyalty, forgiveness, & understanding. This is the season to come together to celebrate faith, fellowship, & family. Please, lets all put aside our differences for a few moments and revel in joy as the ferrets frolic in our guardianship. Enjoy each others camaraderie while accepting their differences. Watch the ferrets; they've forgiven "that man" & gone on to enjoy better lives. I've learn acceptance from them. What have you learned?
