Sarah Here: What are you talking about Daisy what does VIN mean?

Daisy Here: IT MEANS Very Important News. My goodness sometimes you
are really thick!

Sarah Here: Oh man Daisy you are just toooooooo much! If you don't
mind, I am going to start the news. Miss Brie has set up a forum for
anyone that wants to join us in ferret talk; you can find that here

Miss Ili is back home she came to catch us up! She and Mr Bob are snow
birds, even Bear III was thrilled to see Miss Ili, you can see how
happy he was to see her here

Mum said it was great to come home from work and find our play areas in
great shape! Thank you Miss Ili it is good to have you home!

Miss Stacie stopped by to show Mum some beautiful pictures she took of
all things beautiful, butterflies, dragonflies and spiders really cool
things like that. Mum loves things that fly and crawl, she says the
slithery things are okay but she prefers not to hang out with them.
They were awesome pictures, thanks Miss Stacie for stopping in to share
them with Mum. Miss Donna came in shortly after Miss Stacie got here.

Mum got to see the Brooklyn fur kids they used to live here; they came
to hang out at camp for the weekend, they are happy and healthy living
at their new 4-ever home.

Sarah Here: Mum got a whole week off from the Big Yellow Thingy; we had
so much fun hanging out with Mum! The Keenen fur kids that used to live
here came to camp too only they were here the full week Mum was off.

We were contacted by a new family looking to adopt, Mum thinks the new
family is great, she really liked them. The 4 Rochester boys fell in
love with them, Miss Julie fell in love with the 3 Syracuse girls, Mr.
Arthur the 4 boys. Mum said we have a shelter friend up in Albany that
did the home visit for these folks.

Mr. Arthur and Miss Julie got Mum their landlords' information, Mum
thinks these folks will be good ferret parents. It turns out the
landlord was specific in how many fur kids these folks could have so
they took these 2 girls

We have 3 new sponsors for the fur kids, Skooter, Squiggles, and
Maggie. Skooter got a surprise box of presents from his far away mom
Miss Leslie. We got a Ferret.com E-Gift Certificate from Miss Mary
Ellen Frenchie, Rizzo, Sandy and Jenkins far away mom. It was her way
of soothing hurt feelings for her boy Jenkins because Daisy beat him
up. Daisy was to spend the night up in Mum's space one night; but she
got kicked out in her first 30 min. Ha! You will never learn will you
Daisy? I get to spend all night in Mum's space because I stay out of
trouble!

Daisy here: Wow what a day, Miss Jackie called to see if she could come
over to help, that was perfect timing Mum wanted to get our weights
done so with one more set of hands they could do our nails too.

My far away mom Marcia got here about 11:30 Miss Jackie and Miss Donna
came in about noon so everyone got started. Miss Donna pulled us kids
out of our cages or play areas, far away mom Marcia set us on the
scale, reported to Mum the weights to record on the cards Mum keeps in
our record binder, then we were handed over to Miss Jackie to cut our
nails, Miss Jackie handed us back to Miss Donna to put us back where
she found us. What an assembly line they had going! They got us all
done in an hour and a half.
 
After we were all taken care of everyone split up and started doing
other things around the shelter. Miss Jackie hopped into the play pen
stripped it and cleaned the floor put it back together with a clean
throw rug and blankets.

My far away Marcia went around checking food stations and stripping
dirty bedding from the play area sleep boxes/drawers and replacing
them with clean. Miss Donna did poop papers, Mum did kitchen duty.

Sarah here: The Keenen's came to get their fur kids from camp just
about the time Miss Marcia was leaving. Mum moved the Keenen kids to
the kitchen for easy access when their family got here. The fur kids
were thrilled to have their family home. The Keenen family stayed about
an hour, they only took their 5 fur kids Miss Gail said NO MORE fur
kids! :-)

Miss Tori and little Nora came, Miss Brie got here after stopping to
pick up some donations that were offered to us up in Rochester. Miss
Ili came that day too! Boy did they get some things done. Miss Ili took
care of the play areas, papers; steam mopped and took out trash. Miss
Tori, Miss Brie and Mum worked on mixing food, cleaning food stations
and such. Oh look what Miss Tori did for us

Well Daisy it looks like we have all the notes Mum left for us put into
the news what do you think?

Daisy here: Nope there is one more thing, we have a shelter friend that
is making us crochet toys again, but we have run out of yarn so if
anyone of you out there has any yarn stashed away you are not using we
sure could use it for our toys. Drop Mum a note to let her know.

NOW we are done Sarah Tata for now until next month
