This is very interesting why do you need to make an apology to Sandy from the Rabbit Rodent and Ferret house and another thing why is she taking Penny out of your home???? I re-read your post from Aug.21-22 and I see nothing wrong in what you said about the shelter. Penny sounds like a sick cookie and you saw that she needed personal care. You stated that she still does not eat crunchie food and that she does not eat on her own so you have to feed her soft food off your finger. I don't care what the shelter says there is no way a ferret with needs like that can get the personal care they need to get healthy. Penny needs to be feed several times a day..............can the shelter take time out to give her that attention? She needs lots of love and special attention and even if the shelter can give her that you will never convince me that it is better for her to be in the shelter then in a loving, caring home. As I see it Corynne didn't flame your shelter she just pointed out that the shelter could not provide the same loving environment a personal home could provide. Something she was more then willing to do, but no your ego got in the way and you took that precious ferret out of her home. The impression I get is that you are more worried about yourself then you are worried about a ferret who is ill and in need of special care one on one care that she could have gotten from being in Corynne's home. How selfish of you to deny Penny a loving home even if it was only long enough for her to get better and Corynne did express the desire to give her a permanent loving home. Whos needs are more important yours or the ferrets in your care. You removed Penny just because Corynne made an observation about your shelter that you didn't like and then made the mistake of posting it. Penny deserves that special care just as any other ill ferret does and you had no right to deny her of that care. By the way Sandy did you give that family that dumped Penny off because she was sick another ferret???? This whole thing never should have happened just because of a few words put to print. In MY opinion you were wrong to remove Penny from Corynne's home. DianeK,wiggles,cocoa,cleo and daddy too!!!!
