Well we all got together at our home and decided on our christmas wishes, it was unanimous. I'm so fortunate for having such thoughtful creatures to share my life and love with. 1. We wish that on christmas eve weekend every ferret in every shelter and every petstore gets the best christmas present of all, their own family and home. (I was coerced into agreeing to visit our local pet shop and if there are only 1 or 2 ferrets to buy them and bring them home - Petey and Nosette had their teeth on the brand new home computer cords and wouldn't let go till I agreed) 2. Good health to all ill ferrets and all pets (the dogs pushed for this one) So what are wishes but dreams and dreams can come true... Hugs to all! tle Oops! I forgot to explain wish 1. We really do wish all homeless pets find homes for christmas but on the realistic side we realize not all other companion pets will find homes for christmas. We truly do love all creatures but felt this wish, if included all companion pets, would be along the lines of world peace, we wish for it but it is unlikely. So... What is a wish but a dream, and dreams do come true (if they are realistic) Hugs to all. tle [Posted in FML issue 1392]
