I thought I'd just tell the tale of my vet visit, but first I'd like to send condolences to Sweet Pea & Kodo's humans. I was in tears when I read about Sweet Pea and how Krysta and her parents handled this. My thoughts are with all who've lost their babies. This morning Mookie, Calvin & Suzy got their vaccinations, and of course Mookie & Calvin are my "monster boys." When Dr. Kubisz saw Mookie I thought I'd crack up. Mooks was first one out of the carrier, and all he wanted to do was check everything out! Dr. K. weighed him and the little bugger weighs 3 pounds (which I'd thought, but now is confirmed). Calvin comes in at 2 3/4 lbs and Suzy is a pound lighter. Dr. Kubisz is always amazed at the way my terrorists look, healthy, sassy and happy. And I tell him, and will tell all of you, part of this is because of all you folks on the FML with your ideas, recipes, and help, and also because of Bill, for putting this list together. Dr. K told me this morning its really neat to see ferrets as healthy and happy as my little band of merry mayhem, and I have to admit that really makes me feel good. He always asks what I feed, and when I tell him the Iams kitten chow and Bob C.'s chicken gravy he's just amazed. Of course, he now has the chicken gravy recipe for his own ferrets! So despite the long debates, sometimes arguments that I read, you folks are great, and I thank you and applaud you for your thoughts, your wisdom, for being yourselves. Rebecca & the other two human slaves Socks-Hmph. I didn't need the vet to tell me I was healthy Kit-I'm just so cuuuuutttteee! Genie-Mom, honest, that board just fell down and scared me-that's why I'm clear up here and still climbing Scully-liar liar liar Calvin-ah, mon cher, bring your finger over here so I can grab the end of it again Suzy--Mom! Gimme another piggy back ride Mookie--I'm a dancin', dancin', dancin' machine Chewie, Dribble, Sarabi & Tigger-You know, don't you, we cats just wouldn't act like that-CATCH THAT FLY ======================= Rebecca McFarlane Secretary Basic Medical Sciences School Veterinary Medicine Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907-1246 Phone: 765-494-8632 Fax: 765-494-0781 "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup" [Posted in FML issue 2745]
