To Vickie McKimmey, I wanted to express how much I admired your article about companion pets in a throwaway society in the most recent AFR. It is difficult to write so well and coherently about such a difficult issue. I share your conviction and thought the article was eloquent and compassionate. I hope that as many ferret people as possible have the opportunity to enjoy your insights. All the best, Ellana S. [Posted in FML 5926]
