Hello FMLers! I've been off fml for almost a year but have been lurking about for about a month now and never had time to write. I hope every one had a good new year. Sorry John R. about Buddy. I lost my first two ferrets, Rascal and Shadow, a few years back and know the grief you are feeling. I love the three I have now very much but still miss my first pair. Someone awhile back asked about ferret sitting. I started the Not Home Alone Pet Sitting Service last spring in the seacoast area of NH. Most pet sitting is done in the owner's home although I do board ferrets, hedgehogs, and other SMALL pets such as rodents. I can not board dogs or cats because I live in a mobile home park. Anyone in my area can contact me by email for more info. Bye for now, Gary Connors [Posted in FML issue 1435]
