Well it's that time of the year again, and I wanted to remind folks to get your flu shots (with your doctor's permission). Besides being a lousy illness to get ourselves, it's one of the few serious illnesses that we can pass on to ferrets, and it can be life-threatening to them. I have been certified as one of the world's most terrified people when it comes to shots, so I can't say I look forward to this, but will do it to protect the tiny ones. David already got his and says, "You're a baby." That helps. Many pharmacies and grocery stores offer them at a nominal cost. Feel free to pass this post along, or make up your very own.
