This is my first post here, but I need help. My oldest ferret is getting
really rough looking. She's missing almost all her fur on her tail, and it's

trolls or what but it has turned into a bunch of old fogey flame-contest

We're going to get a dog in a few months and I've been researching dog
diets. I've been particularly interested in the BARF (Bones and Raw

quilting and clutter newsgroups I participate in), but I do need

Hello, everyone. Most of you don't know me. I do see a few names that I
still know. I stop in now and then to say hello and see how everyone is
doing. Today I'm here to talk about a different topic... seizures.

brought back because she bit and the shop owner thinks she was abused,
since the guy that brought her back made certain statements (I don't

I think I've posted I rehab biters for the local shelter and the occassional
kit who needs more attention than the breeder has time for.
I've got this big, fine point sable boy, about 6 mos old.  He was one that
grabbed, let go to get a better hold and held on tight.  He had to be ...

I give my fuzzies Honeynut Cheerios as a treat for them.  I have to be
careful because they'll stop eating their Marshall food if I give them too
much.
Also, does anybody know whether the sugar in the cheerios has any adverse
