Thank you to everyone who sent their condolences when I lost Ferris. Some of the notes brought tears to my eyes. As important were the few words of encouragement I received to keeping plugging along even when it all seems to much. Surprisingly, each note was from a stranger. Strangers who cared enough to give me a boost when I needed it. I guess this just shows how important the FML is and how many different purposes it serves. Thanks again. On a side note, does anyone out there live close to Franklin County (MO)? Got an interesting call for help from their animal control to pick-up a non-ferret critter. I may need "taxi" service to Chicago. Or I may just drive out and pick it up. If anyone's in the mood for traveling, please let me know. I can't guarantee you won't go home with a fuzzy or two, though ;-) Kim Animals For Awareness [Posted in FML issue 2748]
