Hi Ferret Lovers,
 
Check out New England Ferret Foster, Education, and Rescue, Inc's website
to read the articles from our April newsletter.
 
Among them are the story of Jasmine, an older girl whose family lost her
to insulinoma just a month shy of her eighth birthday.  Jasmine went
through a lot in her years, including losing her beloved and irreplaceable
cagemate, but in her last 3 years had finally found a family who loved and
treasured her.
 
Also read Jimmy's Story.  Jimmy was introduced in our March newsletter and
his life was chronicled in terms of his insulinoma and how he lived with
it.  Part 2 of Jimmy's story goes into detail about the cause of his
insulinoma and other medical problems - careless "backyard breeding" by a
breeder whose lack of knowledge resulted in ferrets who are living with
multiple health problems.
 
And for anyone wondering why they should take time to volunteer at a
ferret shelter, read "One for the Resume", an article about how two years
of volunteering at a ferret shelter built a skill set that landed me a
good job!
