Hello all my friends!  It's been a crazy few weeks at the shelter.  We've
taken in quite a few ferrets and have loads of surgeries to do.

Marylou (named after the super famous Ferrets Magazine editor) and Sindy
came from a home.  The had already had another home and were from a
back-yard breeder.  Marylou was in advanced heat but Sindy was ok.  Both
girls had surgery to be spayed last week and are doing well.  They are
only about 4-5 months old.  The girls are very nippy with strangers but
are starting to come around with most of the volunteers (though mommie
gets lip kisses too!)

Babette, Ziggy & Gigy came from the Brampton animal control.  All three
are adrenal and are going for surgery on the 12th.  Hopefully after
surgery, they will be adoptable and find a forever home!!!  The trio
range in age from 2-3 years old.

Shaq is a super sweet 5-6 month old.  He was thrown from a balcony in
Toronto and brought to Toronto animal control.  He's won the hearts of
everyone he's met.  Auntie Sue and mommie took him out for a walk on
Sunday in the ferret stroller and everyone who saw him cooed over his
super cuteness.  He's going into the vets this week for an x-ray to see
if he has any broken bones.

Robbie & Tilly broke mommie's heart.  Tilly is just about totally bald.
She is one of the tiniest ferrets mommie has ever seen and she is also
quite blind.  Tilly has a nasty growth beside one of her eyes but she is
too beautiful for words.  Robbie, to mommie, looks like a ferret that was
in the shelter many years ago.  His name was Flagstone, a BEAUTIFUL black
sable.  Robbie gives kisses, likes to cuddle and him and Tilly came from
the North York animal control.  They were set to be killed because Tilly
was bald.  Though both do have adrenal disease, they will be having
surgery to fix everything and hopefully make them adoptable in the near
future.  Both kids are really skinny but mommie and the volunteers have
been giving them 'goo' and hopefully they will be fattened up in no time!

The shelter will be taking in 2 more ferrets from Brampton animal
control next week, once ADV results come in.  We aren't sure of their
situation or health but with the shelter's record over the last 2
weeks, i'm sure they'll need surgery of some sort!!!

my love and fuzzy kisses to all of you!!
