Sukie's post on the FML yesterday really brings home a sobering point. Lots of us, including myself, have the means to bring lots more ferrets into our homes, but possibly not the ability to maintain them. I know if all of my 7 and the 3 cats and the dog were to become critically ill concurrently (instead of sequentially) we'd be in trouble. I have the funds for emergency care for a few at a time, but not everyone. My husband, sometimes the only note of sanity in this zoo, points this out frequently. And I need to remind myself of this every time I go to a ferret show. Ann Who is allowed 2 more in '98 :) [Posted in FML issue 2288]
