Sometimes I'll get to page 30 of a book before I realize that I've read it before. I suppose it has to do with the amount of chaos in your life while writing and while reading. Keep it up, though! :-)

If you're available, and feel like a little roadtrip, FERRETSTOCK is June 7th, come on down and party with your old friends from Poofs! lol Did you hear that "Ferrets" terminated yesterday Well, their paper publication is ceased, and they say they will have an online version free to read. Just an FYI, that I thought you'd be interested in knowing. Along those lines, folks are pining today for the return of "Modern Ferret". Nice to be fondly remembered, eh? You're missed, Hugs, Barb Clay Hi Mary,

Truth is stranger than fiction...from your account of Gabby's loss, it seems that I lost my last fuzzy, "Bert" nearly on the same day that Gabby crossed the bridge. For various health and financial reasons, I, too, decided it would be unfair to take on any new ferrets at this point and time...but we miss them dearly! I was an avid reader of your magazine and loved your writing and Eric's photos. I am sad to hear of the trials and tribulations you have gone through over the past few years, and I will pray for your health and happiness. I am a vet tech with 32 years' experience, but having moved to rural Iowa from Florida almost 2 years ago, I am having no luck finding a job so far in a practice that is ethical and modern. But I won't give up, just as I see you are taking steps to deal with life's lemons. The day will come again when God will give us peace in our hearts and ferrets in our arms! Bless you, Mary, and thank you for all the joy you brought to my life. You are well loved and respected throughout the ferret community! susan Dear Mary-

Just a few years ago life was so much fun. Why does it have to turn into work? I've found that every 5 years life can be totally different. I don't always like the changes but when I look back over the years things are much better now. You may not know it but your ferret friends still wish you the best and wonder how you are doing.

Like you, a lot has happened in my life too in the years since I last wrote you. I'm so sorry to hear of so many things falling apart in your life. I too have had times like that but being older now I have a better perspective on it all and know that every day you get vertical and put one foot in front of the other is a success. You have more friends out in the world than you may know about. If you ever want to get away to Colorado I have room for guests and would be honored to have you visit.

I subscribed to Modern Ferret several years ago to get my only legal ferret fix ( I live in California) but have given up hope for the time being. On February 11th of this year, my beloved cat and constant companion for 20 years, Sabella, died after a long battle with kidney disease. My husband and I don't have kids- she was our baby. She was brave and sweet to the very end and I know I will never stop missing her. I just wanted to give you a gentle cyber-pat on the back for comfort and to assure you that no ferrets on this earth ever could have had a happier life than with you and your devoted hubby. You've been a wonderful ferret mom and will be again. I wish you a speedy recovery for both heart and thumb. Lots of Love, Jennifer <blockquote><em>I'm sorry to hear about Sabella.

I’m sorry to hear about Sabella.

Thank you for the cyber-pat on the back. The thumb’s coming along.
