I have enjoyed reading the many messages that come my way on this confrence. I just wanted to shoot you all a note about some recent unhappieness in our little family. Our first ferret Muthusal has become very sick. The vets prognosis is not very hopefull. He has experienced rapid weight loss going from a roubusc 3.5 pound ferret to a mere 1.4 pound guy, only skin and bones now. I don't think that there is much left for us to do, except make him comfortable in his last days. Sorry to burden you with this, but just wanted to let you all know. If anyone has any thoughts on what we might do to make him happy these last few moments please let me know. It is never easy watching a family member pass away. Take care. Michael (Muthusala & Willy) sniff, sniff. [Posted in FML issue 0479]
