I'm sitting here with tears running dowm my face hoping noone will walk over to my cube and notice. I just want to express how much my heart goes out to all of you who have lost your pets. My 3 ham-dingers are not even a year old, so I haven't had to deal with any of this yet. It's funny how much quality we experience from caring for these crazy little animals. I think we see in ferrets things we'd like so see more of in ourselves. To them, the world isn't all that complicated. And it's a lot of fun most of the time. I wish that was more our nature. Yet somehow, those little sneaks manage to slip a little of their poetry under our pillows each nite. Take care, Brian, Nell, Odo and Zero [Posted in FML issue 1861]
