We have been using Sun & Earth products for some time now, & LOVE
them!!!

They are non toxic, non-chemical, biodegradeable--no fumes etc. and
they smell like fresh sliced orange. Very uplifting.

Their all purpose cleaner is excellent to spray in the litterpans,
when wiping them out, and for those "accidents" on the floor. Great
for countertops too! Cuts grease.

We love their laundry soap & fabric softener! The laundry soap really
cuts the ferret oils in the bedding. The liquid fabric softener smells
clean & wonderful, like soap.

We like the dishwashing liquid too---and we wash LOTS of soup dishes!!!
It hasn`t bothered my hands. (They do make one for dishwashers too--but
we don`t have a dishwasher.)

Some of the ferties used to sneeze, when we used other products. Not
so, anymore.

Free shipping, over a certain abount of $$--and they give free goodies
too sometimes (under "special offers")

We are cleaning up after 70 ferrets here, so the products we use have
to be safe & effective. Not too expensive either, over the long haul.
(GEESH--Does this sound like a commercial?) LOL. OK-- I`ll add the
disclaimer then-- We are not in any way affiliated with Sun & Earth,
and get no kickback from them---but we at Zoo`s Ferret Sanctuary use
these products daily.

Their web addy is www.sunandearth.com

Good luck!

Love,
Zoo

Subject: Bridge Greeting for Okojyo

Oliver the currier came running up to No. 421's cabin and pounded on
the door. No. 421 was taking a nap. He had been swimming all day and
he was on Bridge Duty tonight.

"Who be bangin' on my door," No. 421 said in a loud voice.

"It be me, Oliver, your currier, I has a note from the Receiving Angel
for you," he said.

"Can it wait a few hours?" No. 421 said. "I'se be verrrrry tired."

Oliver was very upset. "No," I needs you to help me find some ferrets.
We has a new comer crossing any minute, and the Receiving Angel was
very specfi --cif - cif, well, he said I needed to get a reception
party ready right away."

"Okay, okay, I'm comin'," No. 421, said. Rubbing the sleep from his
eyes, No. 421 opened the door for Oliver.

"Hurry up" Oliver said. "She's be acomin'."

No. 421 splashed cold water on his face, smoothed his whiskers, pulled
on his pants, buttoned up his cleanest shirt and ran his claws through
his hair. That was one thing good about being a ferret; you could comb
your hair with your claws. The two set off for the bridge.

The two ferrets stopped at the Meadow of Dreams and No. 421 took the
ticket from Oliver. All the little ferrets stopped playing, and waited
for No. 421 to speak. In a very loud voice, No. 421 asked if Data, Zip,
Frejya, Angel and Mr. Peepers were there. A flurry of activity brought
the ferrets to the edge of the meadow.

"What is happening," Data asked? "Did we do something wrong?" Zip was
very quiet -- she had a treat, stashed away in her hammy that she was
pretty sure no one knew about. She wondered if someone had found it,
and she was going to be scolded for not sharing.

"Do you remember your girlfriend Okojyo," No. 421 said? "She be comin
to the Rainbow Bridge today and I want you to be there to welcome her.
That way, she will not be afraid or alone."

Everyone hurried to the Bridge and lined up behind No. 421. Okojyo was
just starting across the bridge when No. 421 sent forth his greeting.

"Who goes there," No. 421 said. "It be me, Okojyo," the little girl
said. "I be there in a minute, my tummy hurts, but I's getting better
with every step."

Data, Zip, Frejya, Angel and Mr. Peepers stood very still behind No.
421. They were so excited and were trying hard not to twitch and dance.

Okojyo came up to No. 421. She was a little afraid, cause he was so
big. "Where is I at," Okojyo asked. "I misses my mommy Laryssa," and
with that she reached out to No. 421 and nipped him.

"Ouch," No. 421 said hopping around on three paws. "No no, we don't do
that here."

"I wanted to see if you was my Mommy," Okojyo said. "You don't taste
like her."

With that the little ferret sat down and cried. As the silver tears
dropped from her whiskers, little For-Get-Me- Nots began to bloom where
they fell. No. 421 patted Zip on her head between her ears and pushed
her forward. She licked the salty tears from Okojyo's face and Okojyo
opened her eyes.

"Zip" she said. "Zip, is it really you, I never thought I'd see you
again."

Data, Frejya, Angel and Mr. Peepers stepped out from behind Bridge
Greeter No. 421. Everyone hugged, dooked, and danced around. Little
Okojyo was smiling and dooking.

"Hi everyone," she said. "Oh how I missed you all. Why did you go
away?"

Mr. Peepers took little Okojyo by the paw and explained that she was at
the Rainbow Bridge now, and everyone here had become old or sick and
had to leave their earthly home.

"We all live here in the Meadow of Dreams and will wait here for our
hoomans to come and get us," Mr. Peepers said.

Little Okojyo was happy to be with her girlfriends again. Zip snuggled
close to Okojyo and said she had a surprise for her. "Now don't tell
anyone, and I'll take you to my mound," Zip said. "We can snuggle in
my hammy and catch up on all the news, and I'll share my surprise with
you."

No. 421 watched as all the little ferrets raced off to their mounds to
wait for their hooman Laryssa to come. When she arrived, they would all
be together again.

No. 421 told Oliver to get supper and take a short nap and meet him
back at the Bridge. Then he left the meadow and walked back to the
gate. He had to take the note stamped "request fulfilled to date" to
the Receiving Angel then go back to his cabin and take a shower, get
something to eat and go back to the Bridge.

He was still very tired and was wondering about the moon. He was
thinking if the moon was still stuck in the cloudbank, and the stars
were busy helping him get out, it would be dark and overcast tonight,
and he just might be able to catch that nap.
