Marlene: Sometimes you just have to let it all out in order to keep things in perspective. You and other people who run shelters do a job that is basically thankless, endless, and often heartbreaking. But it's your calling, and if not you, then who? I know that a lot of frustration can build up, and it seems like a pretty healthy way to let off that build-up by venting to your many friends on the FML. So, I'm glad you did... because there's lots of other ferrets out there that belong to terrible or uncaring owners that will eventually need your help. Thank God for you and other shelter people like you who help the ferrets that cannot help themselves. If letting off some steam on the FML helps, then by all means, let it out!
