Hi, guys! Thanks for the advice on Sophie's vomitting--I'll ask the vet about possible ulcers. I now have to ask if any of you know what the status is on ferts in Hawaii. My husband may be stationed there next year. Also, I just wanted to add my two bits on the feral ferret population in NZ. We just got back from a trip in New Zealand where we hiked for six days along the Greenstone and Routeburn rivers in the South Island. Well, we took a little detour to see a gorge and as we were crossing the river I saw a long light brown flash that I knew was a ferret. I said, "Dave, that was a ferret!". He said, "No, that was a squirrel." I argued that it was a ferret, but eventually he convinced me that it was a squirrel. So when we rejoined the group I told the guides that we saw a squirrel. They told me that there are no squirrels in NZ and that what I saw WAS a ferret. I beamed :). According to our guides there is quite a large feral ferret population in the South Island of New Zealand. Dooks! to one and all! Love, Steph, Sophie, Marty, and Jake P.S. Dayna, I loved the Foggy update--he's a star! :)! [Posted in FML issue 1767]
