To all - thanks to all who attended FACT's 15th!!  annual ferret frolic
this past Saturday.  Shelters from PA, NJ, NY, NH, MA, and of course, CT,
were represented.  It was a lovely day, and ferret folk seemed to come
out in droves.  Our old timer and rescue rings were full and we had the
chance to meet ferrets and their caretakers from the Northeast.
 
THANK YOU ALL for your support!!!

On a personal note and for those who will receive the information via
FACTs foster newsletter ---- I have to share that I found my very sweet
little old blind lady, Nina, gone to Rainbow Bridge Tuesday night.
 
Since the first ferrets I owned over 20 years ago, this is the first
ferret that passed on me without accident and totally without warning.
Nina came as a "discard" left with a local humane shelter.  She outlived
her cagemate Corky by over 6 months.  I loved to watch her find her way
about by tapping her chin... Nina will be sorely missed by all who met
her.
