I am writing this on behaf of my wife who is still outside at 5:20am looking, calling and hoping that Hank, our pet ferret of 5 years will turn up. We are at the Comfort Suites in LeClaire, Iowa and while unpacking the car Hank managed to slip away from us. At this point we are fairly desperate and I am asking if there are any ferret shelter contacts in the area would you please email us your info so that we check to see if Hank turns up at a local shelter. Please respond directly as we receive FML postings in digest mode. Please send any good wishes Hank's way. I know he wasn't too happy in the car but I know he rather be with us than alone and abandoned in the suburbs of LeClaire. Chris Y on behalf of my wife Kim. [Posted in FML 6067]
