To Kymberlie Becker: You poor thing! I have lived through the trauma of having to put ferrets to sleep and I have experienced the same kind of anxiety dreams. It's only because you love them so much I'm sure. I dealt with the dreams in this way: I visualized my ferret (Silk) sleeping at Jesus' feet every night before I went to sleep. I imagined Jesus sitting in a throne with clouds all around. He was wearing a long robe that pooled around his feet on the floor. Silk was all curled up in the robe with a very peaceful look on his face. Sometimes I imagined that Jesus was sleeping too with Silk in his lap. I'm not familiar with your religious beliefs, but I'm sure you can come up with something similar. Good luck with your nightmares. I'm sure that your Ricky and Sassy are playing somewhere with my Silk and they are having a wonderful time. ;~) Bido-Mom to three bundles of madness PS The underwater ferret in the calender disturbed me too. I'm not sure why. Otherwise, I agree that it was a wonderful calendar! [Posted in FML issue 2177]
