Was in K-Mart this weekend and saw their big gift tree...you know-the one
that has the name of a needy child with a list of the stuff the child wants
for Christmas!  For my own reasons...I never pick a name off the tree!  But
I was thinking...if it was the name of a ferret- I would gladly pick one
and send the little guy something.  This may have been suggested before and
if it has-I apologize!  But if some shelters listed the name and a brief
description about some of the babies in their shelters who probably aren't
going to have a very good Christmas-maybe someone us can do something to
make things a little brighter!  I only have my three ferrets and as much
as I would love to have many, many more...I know with things being as they
are...three is just about all I can handle!  I send stuff out to shelters
all the time(-CJ a box is headed your way)-but that is always so
generic-and please don't misunderstand me here!  Sometimes I don't express
myself real well!  What I mean is that the box of goods goes to the
shelter- in general!  I think it would be kinda neat to send some stuff
specifically to one ferret-to know his-or her name and what she looks
like-how she acts-and maybe even get a picture of her-or him!  I know some
shelters have programs where you can send monthly to help a ferret-but my
income is rather sporadic, but a one-time Christmas gift I could handle...
and it might help the shelters and the ferrets!  Oh well-maybe it is a
stupid idea...
