First, thank you to Metro Ferret for you care package, it all was so needed! Now I need to let you all know something and I ewould rather tell you that you hearing it second hand. I have been having some major head problems, mostly because my son moved out, (long story), and he says he hates me and the shelter. He caled me from my moms house last week and really told me off. I went and did a real stupid thing and took a bunch of pills so i could just sleep for a while, like a week or so. A friend found me on the floor of the back ferret room, ferrets having a party on my passed out butt! i wanted to make sure everyone was takken care of before I fell asleep, but didn't quite make it. Anyway on top of all that I have a heart problem that they are putting me through tests to try to figure it out. So in the mean time I'm outta work for 4 weeks. With no paid time off, it really stinks. Right now all that is keeping me going is the ferrets, I told the counceler at the loony bin place, that my dr. wanted me shecked intobut I wouldn't do it. funny thing is she has a ferret! So she is referring me to a shrink an I'm geting help as an out patient. I just want you all to know that the ferrets are getting treated as good as they every have and we are running busines as usual. i have some down days but my friends are picking up the slack. i may take off for a few days and just hide out, but I'll have to take a fuzzy with me of course! I am contacting the ferret store and my vets to try to make payment arrangements as any money comming in right now may have to help keep a roof over our heads and the utilities going. I've stocked up an food and litter so thats ok for a few weeks. If you want to contact me, its ok to do so, by e mail or phone. if they do take me to the hospital kicking and screaming, I'll have someone here for othe ferrets and some one to keep you posted. i feel like you guys are lke family my own family is nuts and i was advised not to have much contact with them because they are most of my problems. So, i've gotta go make some appointments, feed the zoo and all that jazz. I thank God everyday for my fuzzies, for i know they are my lifeline right now. Hope to be able to write again soon, but if not, please everyone take care and i'll be back!!!! LOL CJ 24 Carat Ferret Rescue And Shelter 5383 Via DE Palma Dr. Las Vegas, Nv. 89102 702-876-8224 P.S.
