Alicia: My sincere condolences on the loss of your baby. So often, people overlook the fact that every death of a little one at a shelter or sanctuary, or retired shelter operator, causes just as much pain as it does for the average ferret lover. I don't know how any of you did it, or do it. And yet, you are expected to love and nurture each little one, and go on as though nothing happened when one passes...over and over again. God Bless you Alicia, and all the shelter and sanctuary moms and dads out there. Lisette [Posted in FML 6902]
