Hi everyone, I just finished reading the last FML issue about the "Grinch" and the sending of an empty box to a shelter. I believe that to be a very despicable thing to have done. Having said that, after telling of this to my DH, he responded with a different perspective; that being the possibility of it being a mistaken mailing. He suggests that perhaps someone (a child, spouse, etc.) may have just wrapped an empty box, not realizing it actually was "empty." Then, perhaps it was mailed to the shelter. In retrospect, in the interest of the poor ferrets, I do hope this was the case. Nevertheless, as I usually am more of a 'lurker' and not a frequent 'poster,' I am only offering my humble opinion and that of my DH. My love goes out to all on 'the list,' the fuzzies, their moms & dads, the shelter folks, the veterinarians, the foster parents, those who have 'crossed over,' BIG (especially BIG!) and not to forget Chris and his elves who took so much to heart as to spend hours and hours to set up the 'Giving Tree' once again. I pray I haven't forgotten anyone, if I have, please forgive me. Christmas Blessings and a Very Happy 2009 ahead, Kate in Colorado [Posted in FML 6204]
