Doggone it...sent in my post a few minutes too late (lost track of time) and it did not get out on Saturday, sorry folks. This is Satruday eve, just got off the phone .........guess what I did? I got to listen to little White Fang hissing as she ran across the floor with a mouth full of food to hide it in her stash under Monica's tv. What a beautiful sound that was. She may have Wardenberg's syndrome, she has a blaze and does not react to sound and startles easily. She speaks her mind well, though, according to Monica. I like that. This little one has spunk. You guys have pulled of a miracle, thank you so much for your generosity. By the way Saturday I did get two checks, only $15. so far, but I know more is on it's way. She likes Iams food, so she will eat well. She had eaten a small rubber foot of some sort like off a newsstand (according ot Monica) and has a real fettish for rubber (don't they all?) This is what was causing the blockage. Will have to keep a close eye on this one. Festus is not doing well, STUBBORN, won't eat without being coaxed or forced, so I am doing that, not much sleep, but I am doing what is best for *him*. Probably will have surgery Mon or Tue., for blockage, have no idea what it could be but it feels small, hard, and cylindrical. Donna will care for him while I am in Austin from Wed to Sat fighting for ferrets statewide. (That is if I can bring myself to leave, I can't stand leaving a sick fuzzy.) Gotta feed Festus now, I will post again asap. Thanks for all your help. Trish [Posted in FML issue 1545]
