Am sorry to hear several of you lost your dear fuzzies. It always is hard to loose a pet and/or family member. I checked the NIV translation, and they said "weasel, the rat ..." Lev 11:30 I saw the Bud ad - the ferret is cute, but it's teeth are all wrong!! They should use a real one, or aminate it as they do the singing dogs and cats in the flea ad. I had a nice chat with Pam Troutman and got an autographed copy of her book. It was great seeing her at the Training Conference in MD. Elizbeth the smoke eater - great tale (tail?) of your dad!! Good thing he has not tried building a boat in the basement!! While you were in TX, did you happen to meet James Sanders? He is is my brother-in-law and an outstanding man (6'7"). He is a part time teacher at Texas A&M. Nan and SuperSnooper [Posted in FML issue 2624]
