Garage sale to benefit Little Dudes Ferret Ranch on August 14 and 15
during Alpine Days in North Bend, Washington.
 
Alpine Days is a small festival held each year so come check it out
and then stop by the "ranch" and meet all the shelter kids, help out,
donate, buy, etc. (email me for directions).  We need to purchase
another Quality Cage due to an explosion of ferret intakes recently
and are running out of room.
 
If you follow the newbies when they arrive at the ranch, we post their
individual stories and some are depressed, one is still battling
pneumonia after a month, the lymphoma/jaundiced girl (who may not have
lymphoma after all since she is responding well to the meds) and the
little boy who was being starved to death and won't eat anything but
chicken gravy.
 
One of the more recent rescues is Kami, who was surrrendered to us from a
woman who took her away from a group who used her to train hunting dogs
in Marysville (we are trying to find out who they are).  She had a growth
removed from her foot and has an enlarged spleen so we are going to watch
her for awhile to be sure she doesn't have any other underlying health
problems as a result of her past suffering.  Of course, health care isn't
cheap even with the shelter discount so we need money!!!
 
MICHELLE, THANK YOU - YOUR DONATION EACH MONTH HAS HELPED TO KEEP US
GOING.  I am also set up to take orders for prints of the latest ferret
dragon by Arylkia.  You can order them on the shopping page of our
website.  More artwork and T-shirts are coming and I will announce them
as they become available.  We think you will really, really like what
we have commissioned next.
