<Help shut down the Granite City, IL breeder>
 
Hi everybody,
 
I haven't posted for a while and thought now would be the perfect
opportunity.  I feel so totally helpless here in CA, but I think even from
this far away, we can help with the IL ferrets.  Margie is a wonderful
person and I know her heart breaks everytime she has to go into what she
calls "Robin's Nest".  The condition of the ferrets that she has to leave
behind when she bails a few of them out is horrendous and she knows she can
only take a few at a time.  We went to yard sales on Saturday morning and
today after I washed all the blankets and sleepers that we bought, my
husband cut down the blankets ferret size and hemmed them.  The blankies
will be going priority mail first thing in the morning.  They should be
there for the next batch.  We also will have a 40# bag of TF delivered to
Margie's address, so she can feed all the ferrets while they are at their
temporary stay with Margie.  I know Margie still needs money to bail out the
rest of the ferrets and I hope the ferret community will be as generous for
these poor creatures as they were when they rallied together for Kodo's
cause.  Why not make a donation in Kodo's memory?
 
BTW, one of the first ferrets she bailed out will be mine (Baby Lami) in
memory of my poor Lami that died exiled from his home in CA, in Margie's
arms because I couldn't be there for him.  Margie had been taking care of my
Lami and Sid for me and Sid is still with her and in excellent condition.
Margie has a heart of gold and she knows that we miss our ferrets very much,
that's why she found Baby Lami for me.  Please everybody, help as much as
you can.
 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[P.S.]
Sorry, I have to post a correction.  I just tried to order the TF and
realized I made a mistake.  I guess the biggest bag TF comes in is 30#.
So we'll be sending a 30# bag to Margie.  Can you guys tell I haven't had
ferrets in almost two years?  :(

for CA to get off their butts.)
