I wish to thank those of you who wrote in response to the passing of my sweet Cinnamon Bear. She is still here, in spirit, and our memories of her will keep her alive in our hearts forever. I know, from being a long time reader of FML that many of you have had to say goodbye to your furries now and then. The grieving is normal and healthy. I know, CB's adoptive brother left us three years ago and if it hadn't been for the support of ferret folks like you, I may have put a cap on the number of 'kids' I had at three. I still have eight others to share the love. It is not completely by coincidence that the Guest Speaker at the next meeting of the GCFA is a Psychotherapist spedcializing in pet loss counseling. That meeting will be on Friday, June 9th at 7:30 pm in Downers Grove, IL at Lincoln Center (935 Maple). Those of you who live in the Chicago Area who have lost ( or are about to lose) a furry friend, are welcome to attend the meeting. Guests are welcome and refreshments will be served at half-time. Again, thanks for your support. Roger McMillian [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1202]
