I want to thank everyone who bought bedding from me while I was having
the bedding drive for my 2 ferret rescues who were needing the surgery.
Ziggie had hers about 3 weeks ago and has done fantastic.  She had
bilateral adrenal disease so the surgery cost more because the initial
estimate was for only one-sided adrenal removal.
 
We had Tigger back to the vet today for a pre-op exam and I asked the vet
straight up what he thought Tigger's chances were of making it through
the surgery and he said he thought Tigger had a chance, not an excellent
chance but he felt we needed to try.  The way he put it to us was Tigger
had NO chance without the surgery so he is to have his procedure done
April 12th.  We will be taking him down that morning and remaining at the
clinic while it is being done and we were told he will probably remain
there for a few days but I can count on having to force feed him for
several days when he comes home so no big deal there.
 
Again, thanx so much to everyone who bought bedding.  I had no idea I
would be so swamped with orders and I am running behind so please be
patient in me getting these out to everyone.  I am a one-woman company.
I make everything myself, do all my own marketing, process, mail, and
fill all the orders so it can get quite hectic.
 
I am trying to stay positive and hope for the best at this point with
Tigger but I do know that he has had a year of love, good food, and
medical care that he would not have gotten had he stayed where he was and
that I feel good about.  Maybe Tigger was not suppose to be with us for a
long time, maybe we were only suppose to have him a short time and get to
love him a little while.  Maybe he didn't get much love in his little
life before and he was given a little more time so he could go to the
Bridge after having know what it was like to be loved and have a family.
 
So thanx to everyone, you all made this possible.  By purchasing the
bedding you ensured my 2 rescues would get their surgeries.  I didn't
know I had so many wonderful ferret friends.
