Sorry I haven't posted an update for a couple of days.  Things are *REALLY*
hectic around here.
 
We are still waiting for the results on the biopsies that were done.  Those
ferrets with tumors are recovering nicely, and are temporarily living in a
home with a vet tech.  Sure hope to get the results back soon.
 
Corporate donations are coming in.  I'd like to thank the following:
 
Mr. Rodrick Robertson, President of Great Eastern Pet Foods Inc., Cambridge,
MA, and his area sales rep., Ms. Linda Buote, who I understand was the great
mover in getting all of these donations put together.  Great Eastern supplied
over 165 lbs. of Totally Ferret food, 400 lbs. of Pestell litter, 60 lbs. of
Nutro Max Cat Kitten Food, and 5 bags of Gentle Touch litter.
 
Mr. Trevor Russwurm got the ball rolling.  He's with Pestell Group in New
Hamburg, Ontario.
 
Mr. Rick Celentano is with Nutro Products Inc., City of Industry, CA.
 
Special thanks to Pets Choice of Merrimack, NH who coordinated the effort
and delivered the supplies.
 
We are starting to receive donations from individuals across the US and
Canada, but I don't have their permission to list them individually, so I'll
just say "Thank you for all of your help.  It is greatly appreciated."
 
We still need money to pay for the upcoming surgeries.  I'm hoping that the
vet bills will be *only* in the neighborhood of $2000, but realize it might
be much higher.  Every dollar will help.
 
Cash donations can be made to:
 
Cocheco Valley Humane Society
262 Country Farm Road
Dover, NH  03820
 
Thanks everyone.
 
Dick B.
