Please don't anyone take this as personal - it is a public plea. The FML serves as a wonderful resource for all aspects of ferret information and I can't thank BIG enough for continuing this forum after Chris left (and thanks to Chris for creating it). We have been able to SAVE, RESCUE, PROTECT, etc. ferrets all over the world because of this forum. We have also been able to help others learn about ferret ailments and how to care for them. We have provided valuable information to vets in other areas than our own. We have provided comfort for those who have lost a beloved family member. We have shared our joys and sadness with each other. That is what the FML is all about. Let's all focus on what the FML is intended for - to help ferrets and their people, provide information, and to share joyful and sad events. Hugs to all. tle [Posted in FML issue 2080]
