Got a phone call at work yesterday and it was the NH SPCA.  She called to
tell me that our Blossom had won a full page spot on their 1999 calendar.
What a nice surprise.  I had taken up several rolls of film trying to get
pictures of Blossom and Flower to enter in the calendar contest.  Flower
may have her picture too but a little corner one.  Anyone interested in
supporting the NH SPCA the calendars will I think be $10.  Of course the
money helps support the shelter.  They are very good with the ferrets and
place several a month.  We are very proud of our Blossom.
 
Everyone is getting their winter coats and putting on winter fat.  What a
fuzzie bunch!
 
One of the little girls we rescued a couple weeks ago and placed with a
neighbor has a swollen vulva.  She is about 11/2 or 2 years old.  She has
no hair loss or any signs of sickness.  The swelling was within two days
time.  Seems sudden.  I am gathering all info to help them out but the vet
is not sure without surgery if it is adrenal.  Seems young but suppose not
impossible.
 
I don't think surgery is an option at this time.
Will keep you all posted.
Hug your ferrets today.
