Subject: Harley "Bug" needs prayers

Harley took a turn for the worse tonight. his eye has swelled very large and
he's not able to breathe really well. He's got an emergency appointment at
the University of Guelph tomorrow (Thursday) morning. Please keep him in
your thoughts and prayers. Obviously the fat graft hasn't worked for him.
He's been doing really good lately and i'm hoping he still wants to fight
this bacterial infection. The swelling and breathing problems just started a
few hours ago.

Harley doesn't belong to us at the FAS, i feel he belongs to all of us. The
entire ferret community has prayed for him and wished him well for many,
many years throughout his long ordeal and i'm hoping you'll all continue
prayers for our "Bug" again.

Harley has truly been an inspiration to me and helped me to keep going even
when i didn't think i had the strength. I've received so many letters about
him over the years from the ferret community telling me how they find him to
be inspiring too. He's been through so much in his short life, yet continues
to fight, play and entertain us with his funny antics.

I need to say a special thank you to Jen. Two if the nineteen ferrets we
took in this week (yup, we got 2 more yesterday) are in heat and also need
vet care tomorrow. She's taking the time to pick them up from the shelter
and take them to High Park for spay while i'm in Guelph with Harley.

Please keep our Harley in your thoughts and pray he's able to conquer this
yet once again. For those of you who don't know Harley, here's his story
