BRRRRR!
 
Hi Friends !
It's your bestest buddy Jerimiah at Ferret Wise!
 
YOu remember me?  The handsomest boy with the big chocolate spot on my
side?  :) Well lots has been going on since I last got to write!  Mom is
not coughing hardly at all now the nu monia thing has all gone away-- BUT
Man o man!  Is it cold here!  That white stuff frosted everything and the
big window blankets had to be put up in our shelter room!  Hooey!  The
floors sure do get cold this time of year.  Mom says we pop around like
kernels in a pop corn popper.  Thanks to our great friend Angi-- we have
some new soft rugs to cover part of the tile floor which makes winter
playing LOTS more fun!
 
Well our kids with melatonin chips is getting much better winter coats
and Mom si so happy.  Beau goes to get his chip on Friday..  he had a
adrenal out and Mom says this is to ensure he keeps his coat through the
winter.  Then I will get mine next-- she said it was most important that
the naked kids get theirs first-- so I have been patiently waiting.  Poor
Marie- she is getting really really naked- she is the only kid that
despite monthly lupron and melatonin is still losing her coat :( Mom is
getting quite worried and specially since Marie is now taking to staying
in her sleeper in the cage where it is warmer...
 
There are some update on the Hairclub for ferrets page and she said more
news is coming too!

Mom says there is jest never enough time to get things all done!
Ha - she should be a ferret!
 
I had LOTS of fun on Saturday- last weekend.  Some neat folks came up to
FerretWise to give our Mom a hand- she had been strugglin' to get the
Bears mailing done this year with being sick and caring fr us kids so
finally Renee, Angi, Kathy, Greg and Susan all showed up here!  Wowee----
they helped mom fill envelopes and then - we all got visited here in the
shelter.  I GOT TO TASTE 2 NEW PEOPLE!  Yahoo!  But they said that I was
really good about it-- no band aids were needed.  Nestle was happy he got
helded too, Gravy got helded and so did Beau!  It was so nice having new
folks here visiting with us.  Mom was very happy about the company which
helped her get the envelopes finished off too!
 
Poor Marie- she is getting really really naked- she is the only kid that
despoite lupron and melatonin is still losing her coat :( Mom is getting
quite worried and she is now taking to staying in her sleeper in the cage
where it is warmer...
