I apologize for this being somewhat off-topic, but my neighbor has a very
old Pug (small dog) with an inoperable spinal tumor that is not painful
but has paralyzed his hind legs.  He can't quite drag himself around with
his front legs, and he looks so frustrated when he wants to move but
can't.  And he he has to be held up by his tail to go to the bathroom.
 
So, I was wondering if the person who makes carts for ferrets with
hind-end problems might be willing and able to make one for this poor
little guy?  I'm sorry, but I don't remember who you are.  If you would
be so inclined, would you please email me at [log in to unmask]
 
Thank you very much.
 
Nancy and critters

Hi All -
 
I need your help in getting the word out.  Please cross-post this
everywhere.
 
Last night I got a call that one of our adopters (Washington Ferret
Rescue & Shelter) had her home burglarized and her ferrets were stolen.
She had two ferrets - St. Nick is a 1.5 year old cinnamon male that
prunes the end of his tail & Pooh Bear is a dark sable boy, that's just
under a year.  Both myself and their owner can identify them.
 
She's very upset, understandably!  And is really hoping that whoever
has them will not mistreat them.  She's guessing these were kids, as
any spare change in the house is now missing as well.
 
The police have been contacted, and she's going to go around to local pet
stores and spread the word.  With your help, I'll get the word out on the
net.  I'm thinking of contacting radio stations, vets and having her post
notices at local grocery stores.  Can you guys think of anything else?  I
want those boys home safe & sound and soon!
