To Deborah Micklea You don't have to apologize for being emotional! Anyone who has ever had a sick ferret knows exactly what you are going thru and what your feelings are. That's one of the *big* reasons why the FML is so important - it's like an extended family from where we can draw on each other's support - nobody but another ferret owner can relate to the problems - and joy - that owning a ferret can bring! We're all pulling for you and Tyger - Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA [Posted in FML issue 1172]
