This is it - your last chance to enter one of the best raffles we've
ever had, on behalf of The Ferret Inn of Columbia, Maryland. Shelter
operator Nancy Wilson has been struggling with expenses for some time -
and running at maximum capacity, especially with a whole passel of DMK
kids. Intakes are at an all-time high, but adoptions (and therefore,
income) is at an all-time low.

The deadline for entries is Friday, Feb. 8 at 9 p.m. EST. Please visit
http://www.shelterfriends.blogspot.com to enter this raffle and see the
wonderful prizes you can win, along with photos of The Ferret Inn and
some of the truly special ferrets who have found love and refuge there.

Won't you help? Just a couple of dollars can make a world of
difference, like tiny streams that join to create a sizeable river!
Please help this very worthy shelter to survive unusually hard times
and continue providing the best possible care to ferrets rescued from
truly horrifying circumstances. While doing so, you can win one of
these fabulous prizes:

* A scallop-edged afghan crocheted by Danee DeVore;
* A 44-oz. free-standing water bottle with six-stage filter;
* Two handmade Valentine's Day bedding sets and a free-standing hammie;
* Three Valentine-themed gift baskets - a gourmet tea and scones
  basket; a beautiful set of lotions, perfume sprays and candles;
  and a ferret gift basket from Tails of Distinction with toys,
  treats and a handmade "Valentine hearts" hammock;
* A handmade ferret tarot card set by Elaine Moertl, donated by Ann
  Gruden of 1 Ferrets Treasures; and
* An unusual 18k bonded gold pendant necklace, an adorable pink "kitty"
  tent, and a handpainted ferret plaque and ferret notecard set!

Thanks to everyone for their support,
