What a great post! Dear Bob, My family and I are with you. You set out before us what to do, and we will do it. You are right about Kodo. The higher power, whom I call God, did send him for a purpose. I know that even though I hated the stuff going on in the government, I felt helpless to do anything. After this began, I learned more about the workings of our leaders. I was then, and am now appalled that this could happen. If God sent Kodo to us to make it possoble to pull together to fight for ferret rights, then I will not let his sacrifice be in vain. Wish I could be there for the candle burning for Kodo.....my heart and thoughts are there... There will be a candle burning in Virginia this evening!
