Was in K-Mart this weekend and saw their big gift tree...you know-the one that has the name of a needy child with a list of the stuff the child wants for Christmas! For my own reasons...I never pick a name off the tree! But I was thinking...if it was the name of a ferret- I would gladly pick one and send the little guy something. This may have been suggested before and if it has-I apologize! But if some shelters listed the name and a brief description about some of the babies in their shelters who probably aren't going to have a very good Christmas-maybe someone us can do something to make things a little brighter! I only have my three ferrets and as much as I would love to have many, many more...I know with things being as they are...three is just about all I can handle! I send stuff out to shelters all the time(-CJ a box is headed your way)-but that is always so generic-and please don't misunderstand me here! Sometimes I don't express myself real well! What I mean is that the box of goods goes to the shelter- in general! I think it would be kinda neat to send some stuff specifically to one ferret-to know his-or her name and what she looks like-how she acts-and maybe even get a picture of her-or him! I know some shelters have programs where you can send monthly to help a ferret-but my income is rather sporadic, but a one-time Christmas gift I could handle... and it might help the shelters and the ferrets! Oh well-maybe it is a stupid idea... ===== Judy Cooke Tyson, Hope, and Einstein "The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything."
