Re: Update I heard it through the grape vine that Longtail the ferret has been helped out by various ferret shelters across the US. Apparently, he has been moved about from shelter to shelter and will eventually get "lost in the system." This means that he will probably get adopted to a good home; however, he will never see Mike and Rita McDowell again, nor will anyone know who he is or where he came from. That also means that Mike and Rita won't know where he went either. This "rumor" is from a pretty reliable source, but I don't want to incriminate anyone. So Longtail was saved, but I still feel bad for Mike and Rita. Best ferret wishes. [Posted in FML issue 0706]
