HI folks Jeremiah here! Well I got to say I am really wonderin' about the shelter folks here! I mean don't they know they got the best -- they got me. Lo and behold! They brings a tons of more young ferrets in-- I guess some folkses dropped them off with out a care in the world. They's is white ones and brown ones and some downright spooky kids. Although on day five they are starting to settle down some. They were's tiny for their age Mom said-- but she is feeding them lots and lots and lots of food-- hey kids save some for me!!! They have been scheduled for their classes in tutoring in November-- that's when they should be old enough to pass the test-- then the folks hope by the holiday they will have their very own homes. BUT before they go-- I am going to set them all straight and teach them the weasel ways-- just you bet! Every blessed cage is jam packed with fur kids now-- Mom spends lots more time cleaning here -- and I hear we are going to start to get visitors every Thursday-- as the shelter folks are offerin' to feed human folks pizza & drinks on helper nights ( Thursday). This is really going to be fun -- I can show off some to the new folkses! So if any of you want to come see a wonderful ferret with a distinctive chocolate polka dot on his side-- you just come along to Ferret Wise on Thursday starting at 5:30-6 PM I will show you a handsome ferret for sure! So far everyone is doin good-- that is except for my pal the aromatherapy boy Jack. Poor poor Jack just when he thought he was safe & secure whoosh-- away he goes... I still have the 2 SPCA kids with me & Rex so that's not too bad we chase each other all over the place-- and Mom has been catchin me gteting into things! -- and the Mr Stubby boy is still here all tutored though I hear he got a diploma too! But we jes ain't seeing eye to eye-- so he has his own cage -- and loves to hide inside the tent in it! Beau & Sierra would really like to blow out of this place I see them running for the door every chance they get-- they are almost 2 and are tired of the shelter life, but they need to be the only ferrets in a human home -- like what other kind of life is there? There are four new kids in the quarantine room- the folks had to place them there when the cages filled up-- they are 3 boys and a gal all chocolatey like my polka dot! Mom has been trying to put weight on them-- and tonight she brought them all cooked chicken-- golly the bowl was empty lickety split! I will take Cheerio's any day! Tomorrow the 3 little ones near the fireplace (2 white boys and a dark gal) get chicken too. The older drk sable sisters in the lower tower suite go for a spay appt. later this month -- must be a new hair do ya think (?) and they will visit auntie Judy for a few days... Hey when do I go on vacation? Of course, they get to have the usual blood tests done this week, so the shelter will be quiet and I will get to run it for the day!! Yeeeehaw! I hear folks talking all ready about Holiday Open house in December ( 9th) they says there will be nice smellin' greens and special wreaths made by aunt Judy in the shelter and lots of folks order some to take home too, they also have lots of raffles , and TREATS for the humans --you think they will share with me? This is our annual party before the holiday and I want a ride on the CD player! Bring lots of toys and CHEERIO's too! I hear Bear is not chompin' on cheerio's so much now he found a new caramel popcorn treat that they lets him have when he acts sad-- I will remember this ! The shelter folks will be travellin' down to the MaFF Halloween Frolic on Sunday Oct 29th, I hear they have costume contests & games-- maybe I can hitch a ride, ya think?
