If you could see Biscuit NOW, you would never believe how bad he
looked, only a week ago! The bruising is gone, the blisters have
healed. The scab fell off the cut on his head. All skin except his
nose, is now normal color.The nose is still slightly pink, and there
is only a small scab at the bottom of one ear. He is eating & drinking
well, and ran with some of our babies in the main ferret room,
yesterday! He did have nightmares for several days, but the crying
in his sleep has pretty much stopped now. He still sleeps a little
more than usual, but he`s doing much better.
The response from the ferret community has been overwhelming. Our phone
has been ringing off the hook with calls from well-wishers, people who
were asking for updates on his condition, and those who wanted to share
THEIR stories. Our email inbox has been flooded with the same. Many
just wanted to respect Lisette`s request for no emails, and were asking
us to pass along their best wishes.
Rose German sent us an offer of help ("Paypal? Bedding? How can we
help?") We thought it would be great if she could send bisquit one
of her nice, padded sleepy sacks to take home with him, when he is
returned to his mommy, next week. It arrived today. The cutest little
pattern she calls "Zoo Sanctuary" (No, Not "Zoo`s FERRET Sanctuary"---
just "Zoo Sanctuary" . Coincidence??? LOL) A cute little blue & yellow
animal print. She had just listed one like it on Ebay. SO cute!!! and
a little blue & yellow crocheted egg to match, with a darling little
card that says "For Bisquit Love, Auntie Rose"
On the same day, we got a call from Karen Poehlein-Lee. She had read
Bisquit`s story, & it had haunted her terribly. She went to the trouble
to get our phone number, so she could contact us and ask about him. She
wanted to help somehow also, and is making some extra padded bedding
for Bisquit.
Kim Fox sent some positive Reike energy this way for Bisquit too.
I am touched that so many people have sent supportive emails, positive
thoughts, well-wishes, loving energy & prayers--and that two women
with a love of ferrets cared enough to send gifts to a little ferret
boy they have never even laid eyes on. This is what it`s all about. A
love of ferrets.
May God bless you richly.
Love,
Zoo
