The Utah Incident: I would like to add at this point, and I have seen like incidents come up previously, now is not the time to instill a guilt complex into an individual who has gone through such a horrid experience. At the time of a tragedy, a person does not deserve more heaped on their shoulders because they did not handle their ferrets the way another person does. Please readers, when you hear the news of something like this, have compassion, don't take it as another opportunity to get your point across. For my part, I will be in there writing and calling and my girls will be running the rooms they are allowed in, not caged everytime I go through the door. I take EXTRA precautions to make sure they are safe, that's my duty as a pet owner, I don't cage them because it is easier to take care of them that way. I pray I never experience what she has, but if I do, I will know my part was an accident. If others prefer to cage theirs, so be it, but they don't love any deeper than I love my darlings. Millie and the cleaning crew Easy Off - the most perfect ferret in the whole wide world Ammonia - what'd I say I would do if I heard that word, I'm gonna ..... what's that, what'll I have to do if I upchuck? GRANDMA, you wouldn't dare.........
