Hi Folks! First off, we just wants to say that we is sick to deaf about what happened to poor Kodo. Just 'cause he was a ferret, he didn't get the same treatment that a dawg or cat woulda. Well, don't get us started - we might just get so mad that we might write somethin' that a whole buncha folks would regret. For now, we'll just say that the Old Folks and us is real sad about what happened to Kodo. We hopes that lot's of folks share our belief that we'll see him again. Paw Paw just done shaked his head, kept wipin' his eyes so's his flip flops wouldn't get wet, and kept on mutterin' about the danged guvmint. He ain't too pleased with that guvmint thing - whatever it is. All we knows is that him and Mee Maw has done worked theirownselves silly and they still ain't made a penny that they can keep this year. We thunked that the Old Fert was gonna write somethin' about all of that. Seems that he just ain't gots the time to. He tolded us to tell folks just to drop by a friend's of his webpage: http://www.boortz.com, and to think about what the guy has to say. He ain't into ferrets, but he makes a whole lotta sense that could help us little guys out - if'n folks would start to listen to him. Anyways, we gots to cut this kinda-sorta short. Mee Maw and Paw Paw has been so busy with their pooter bizness lately that they just ain't got no time for fun stuff - like emails and the ferret list. We'll keep grabbin' a keyboard whenever we can just to let folks know that we're doin' ok - and sure do enjoy all the letters that folks writes to us. We'll also try to do some things to the web pages that we maintains for folks just as soon as we can. Oh yes, lot's of folks has been askin' how Paw Paw's laigbone is doin'. Well, it looks like he'll be havin' to deal with Ol' Flop Foot from now on out. We sure do wish that he'd act disabled so's he could stay home and play with us all day. He just ain't like that, though. We heard him tell Mee Maw the other night that he sure wished that his laigbone would get better so's he could go back to bein' an electrician - so's he could get some rest. We know's better than that! Don't tell nobody, but we thinks that he really likes helpin' Mee Maw out with the pooter bizness. Well, more when we can. Many much healing thoughts to anyone what ain't feelin' so good, or is sad. We thinks that there's a whole bunch more good stuff to come that we just don't know about yet. Loves, hugs, scratchy feets, and cold-wet noses in the middle of the night, Tater and Odie - Joy to the World! http://members.aol.com/emssandy/index.htm [Posted in FML issue 1974]
