There will always be sorrow in our lives. Might as well have awonderful ferret with you to get you through it. Whether or not we adopt/rescue a ferret,the ferret that needed rescuing still exists, and the clock is ticking. I just recently adopted two ferrets from our local animal control, and I often wonder what would have happened to them if we hadn't. If I am to feel sorrow, I want it to be because of what I've done, not because of what I didn't do. I will keep the sorrow I feel when they pass. It is better than the sorrow I would feel if I had done nothing. Right now, I have two wonderful youngsters, Hei and Bai, full of life, and happy to be with my wife and I. I cannot imagine it being any other way. Roary Roscoe, Blue, White, Blackie, Hei, and Bai Albuquerque, NM "Blessed are they that rescue ferrets, for they shall see the colors of the Rainbow Bridge."
