This may have been stated in another post re: petsitters, but just in case it wasn't...besides your vet's number, make sure you also leave the number of a 24- hour emergency clinic. You know how emergencies have a strange way of happening after hours...also be sure the petsitter knows where your pet carriers are kept in case they do have to go to the vet, and leave directions to the vet/emergency clinic. If an emergency arises, you don't want them losing precious time dealing with details. I imagine it couldn't hurt to leave their vaccination records in case they have to go someplace they've never been. And then enjoy your trip :-) I hope Kodo and all the other Michigan ferrets at the Rainbow Bridge are having a very special celebration. May we never forget them, and may we never become complacent... Ronnie Ralphie, Harry, Prince Charming, Merlin the Maniac, Roxanne, and Petunia's mom [Posted in FML issue 2117]
