Bill,
 
Very sorry to hear about Rocky.  I know that he has been ill for some time,
but I know how much he will be missed.  No matter how much you think you're
ready for something like that, it seems that you never are.
 
Joan and I send our sympathies.
 
Dick B.
 
Kelleen,
 
The name of the book that recommends bathing ferrets 3-4 times a year is:
