I'll keep this short (the FML seems to get longer and longer every issue...) Vanilla met Salem (the cat) again. No throat slashing this time :) and she even got to stay for a WHOLE WEEK!!! My SO even offered to watch her for two days while I was back up North! However, I thought well enough was good enough and took her with me...Good sign, wedding may be on!! Awhile back, the FML saved her life (2x). I called the local paper about this b/c Vanilla needs her 15 minutes of fame and it was an interesting human interest story. Try to contact YOUR local paper and get a reporter on the phone to explain this wonderful human/fuzzy interest story. Boy! Did I feel like jerk! He must've hung up, shook his head, and had a good laugh telling the rest of the department about the wacko who called wanting a story about how the Internet saved her ferret's life. "What did they do?" Me: "Well, they gave me advice when the vet had no idea about..." I sounded like a real retard... Maybe I should have told him my ferret is marrying a cat...? Thought you'd like that story... Shelly & Vanilla in Morristown (and Clinton!), NJ P.S. I loved the bathtub story!!! [Posted in FML issue 1109]
