Hi All- Jerimiah here! I am going to give you the shelter update -- 'cause Mom can't talk. She is done all talked out this week. The phone ringing & ringing and all. She ha a real squeeky voice -- and the vet laughed at her yesterday when the kids went in for checkups and stuff! The big news i know everybody keeps asking is -- HOW IS JERIMIAH-- um well lets pretend-- and I am doing fine. I am teaching to two youngsters how to nip better-- 'til I get caught. Mom is threatening to take my play pals away and send them packin if I teach anymore of these tricks. She took the newest gal Angel in for her rabies vaccination and said she can go to a new home-- as soon as th4e right family shows up! Well, you know that dark eye little silver gal should stay here-- I think she is real cute! Hmmm I'll have to work on something-- Of coiurse Mr Zippity my brown buddy i set to go-- but he is having so much fun playing he aid he doesn't mind-- just maybe he'll hang around with me-- so I hope no one wants brown little boy ferrets soon. Rex is doing great Mom says. He had his third lupron shot and has a full coat except for his tail-- but the hair is growing in there too! Neat I bet shelter Dad will want some of this stuff-- he lost his hair too! Okay okay- the big news is Bear - is feeling a bit better. He is on day 5 of Baytril now he gets the pills-- he makes a nasty face-- I seen it-- but he has more energy. I am a bit pout out that twice this week Bear has gone on outdoor excursions with shelter dad. Is this what I will get to do when I get to be the REAL mascot-- gosh I can't wait-- I will make him RUN after me! Thge vet said she wants to wait and see how he does-- his little problem with UTI seems to be doing lots better adn his cyst doesn't interfere with natur'es call so.... they didn't make him have an operation! Wonder what an operation is? Oh yeah Sterling-- I keep hearing that name too-- well seems that Sterling is really making the new vet wonder-- h is still very thin -- but they got him eatin' the senior TF food-- and I heard Mom sayin' she isn't telling him but she is sneaking in the real stuff now. He is more active and alert-- hey they even had a party kind of cause he had a real poop! Can you believe that. So much noise over a little thing like that-- they don't get excited about my poop! And I can make a LOT of it! Now there was this talk about his being a NEMIC- whatever a NEMIC is-- so the vet is giving Sterling shots of Winstrol. I guess that will turn him into something else. Can't wait to see this! She say she never saw such a fighter in her ferret years! Wonder what kind of fightin' he used to do? Boxing maybe. Shelter Mom has been busty with all these kids and then those like Me, lulu, Sierra, Beau, Casper-- who by the way has taken up roomin' with this cute chickie called Sunny Delight! -- (I hear that Mom is hoping to place them in a home together before too long)-- but there are some of her own kids that have been a bit under the weather so we all has been keeping her going a lot lately... Well in the AM a bunch of folks are coming over to say hi and get ready for the big picnic time. I hope I get to meet lots and lots of folks -- this is my first year but boy I have been hearing things about these picnic days. I won't want to miss it! Mom got more pictures in the mail for cutest ferret this week-- she doesn't know it but I AM the cutest- and everyone knows! Hope you all come to Ferretstock on Sept 9th should be lots of fun!
