Wow, Where do I start? The only thing that I wasn't happy with was the turn out. I think we had more people last year. Havoc won 6th place in the alter class. Dodger didn't win anything, I did learn a lesson though, when showing ferrets in the future, I won't let everyone play with them all day. They were way too tired when they finally made it to the judges. They looked half dead, not their normal ferrety selves. I met some really great people. Sarah Peterson, who introduced me to their mascot. What a great boy he is. Chirs and Mary Mewton, they were as great as I thought they would be. No that isn't quite true. They were even better than I thought. Amy McNamara, you were exactly what I expected. Dodger said to tell you hi. John Gordon, I finally got to meet John and Dee. After 3 years, they only live about 20 miles from me. John had pics of a least weasel. It was sooo coool..... not to mention tiny. I know I am leaving out all kinds of people, but I was in sensory overload. Diane did a great job judging her first official show. Bill and Lisa did great also. Kim Shilling - Thanks for signing the books for me. Thanks even more for the great conversation we had throughout the day. Julie - forgot to have you show me how to clean the ferrets teeth. Will have to remember it next time. How is Mikey doing? Kat - Was really great seeing you again. Thanks so much for the ferret afghans.. They are really great. Did you realize that we are ready for Christmas now? Sonny's is green and mine is red.... Judy - What can I say? You are still you. One of these days people will realize that they don't need to shut you out of their lives just because they don't know what to say about White Russian. Folks Judy is human, just tell her you feel for what she is going through and love her even more. Then dig into your pockets and give some money to the collection that she is doing for ADV research. Now lets talk about Blizzard!!!! She is the main reason that I went to the Show. Gayle and Larry thank you so much. She is getting along with all the girls. She will meet all the boys tonight. Blizzard, is one of the Flint 9 that Nanci Frazier rescued, I'm sure you will remember the story from the FML about it. Nanci was really ticked. Well anyway Blizzard was the Albino Girl whose cage mate was dead and being eaten by maggots. When Sampson was put down a few months ago, Gayle said she had a little girl that really needed me. When I found out who the little girl was and read her story, I couldn't say no... So Larry and Gayle thank you again. She is precious, and is getting quite a belly on her. You can read her story and (by the time this goes out) be able to see some pictures of her on her new webpage at http://www.geocities.com/fuzziedad/blizzard.html Hope to see you there. I apologize if I have left anyone out of this. I really don't mean to, you know the mind is really the first to go.... Hugz to all and prayers for those fuzzies that are ill, Ron Fuzzie Dad Rascal,Treble,Cocoa,Moose,Charlotte, Screech,Havoc,Casey,Hanna,Dodger, Rainbow,Squeeky,Taffy,Midge, & Blizzard Never forgetting Loki, Spaz, & Sampson http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Haven/5886 [Posted in FML issue 3192]
