Congratulations!!! I know you worked so hard on this and happy the results were awesome. Wish my girls and I could have been there. Maybe next year. I would like to start introducing them to the world out side. They, especially Ripples, do not seem to tense and tremble as often as they did when I first started carrying them around the house outside of their playpen. Jimmi I've benn thinking about your suggestion about writing the stories: how the love of one little albino ferret helped our younger son discover friendship. Then the story we are living with today: three little vampire vixen ferrets became the Miracles they are today. We are not totally bite-free, and I do not expect them; but they are definitely getting there. Example: gentle nipping to communicate an invitation to play is acceptable. Congratulations to the ribbons and trophy winners!! I know you are all proud! Love, Deborah and The Miracles [Posted in FML 6679]
