This is for all the shelter folks out there.Yes,you are appreciated. You can tell you're dealing with a shelter operator if : they greet you at the door bent over,picking up a fresh present. there is duck soup under the fingernails. they have a total lack of wearable socks. there are strange substances found in their hair,sometimes pink,but in a variety of colors and flavors. drinks are served in a cup with a lid and a straw. some of the ice cubes in the freezer are brown in color. you say you're hungry,and they offer you a brown semi liquid substance in a small dish. they roll you up in a blanket and stick a syringe in your mouth,and all you wanted was two tylenol. there are a lot of band-aids on their ankles and hands. they are on a first name basis with the local ferret vet. their visas are maxed out,and they're wearing worn jeans. I know,some of these apply to ferret owners too,but in smaller amounts.Let's face it,we're all fuzzy slaves.
