Mish: Keep the cage! You will need it for "time-out" when someone has done a foul deed (like your husband) <grin>, and it comes in handy if one ferret get ill and has to be separated for treatment-feeding-private sleep time. I also use mine when spraying the house for flees and of course to protect the cows from getting eaten. Jim: When I read the message about Cody I rushed home and hugged all my kids. I told them where Cody went and that when they go to the Rainbow bride that they should look for him. Farley looked at me like "oh boy, Dad can I go play now". I told him no because Cody will be busy meeting all the other kids that are up there waiting for there loved ones to show up and that they will be playing hard for a long time yet.
