Well, in case I haven't already made it perfectly clear to everyone, I got my own house now! So that means my own back yard now! And hopefully a garden full of flowers and such. My question is this. I am thinking of using a all natural type easily broken down litter (not clay) for my ferrets and just dumping the pan in obscure parts of the yard. Does anyone else do this? I feel very guilty bagging the stuff up everyday in plastic and throwing it out to just sit in a land fill for ten million years. :-) We live on a dead end street, and there are alot of farm type animals around here just loose. Sheep, a few horses, and lots of ducks and geese and the occasional rabbit, racoon and of course mice. So I am still not sure how our trash cans will fare at the curb on trash days. But I thought it would be better dumping it in the backyard rather than having it sitting out by the curb. Anyone got any ideas?

Now to find one that needs a good loving home. Wonder how hard that will be? :-) [Posted in FML issue 2215]
