Hi all! Jerimiah here-- wows' it getting fun in here-- every day Mom brings in more pretty cards to hang in the shelter from lots of folks-- maybe even you! Rex has a special card which hangs on his cage. Probably a good thing as his buddy Handsome left today to go to a REAL home. Wonder what them kinds look like? anyway they used to snuggle so he might be sad for a couple of days-- but he has yours truly-- Jerimiah to keep him warm-- don' cha worry none Rexy my boy! Well since those two were getting ready things have ben really exciting-- they went and got a vaccination ( both Dewey & Handsome) and we gots to spend EXTRA TIME PLAYIN! it was soo much fun-- after they got back they played with us so we got more time out. In a farewell salute to shelter Mom I showed them how to empty all the pellets from the corner pan in the small room! Then we spread them out all over the corner of the room. A splendid job! Now that's how to say goodbye! This was much more than the other two did when they left a few days ago-- oh yes I forgot to tell you little mouseketeer left for PA and guess what another kid Whitey packed his bags too--- man- it';s looking kinda lonely for the holiday party-- guess I got to work on teachin' Daniel how to play & party now! I love the attention of a mob! Still those kids Hershey, Nestle, Samson and Emily sure know how to have a fun time! I can't wait-- I heared Mom ( actually Rex told me) she is planning to bring the new play tubes in before the holiday-- so I can''t hide the ferretone bottles until they get here-- or she will make a funny face! Mom is really getting a little happier- as she hasn't got bitten bad in a week. That Daniel kid why he is dancin' up a storm though he still won't play nice with us! Then Mom laughed a big laugh today both Marie & Annabella when they came out to play were chattering up a storm and they played tag back & forth in the small room in front of the other kids cage. Mom had such fun-- she can't remember ever seeing the gals have a party like that! Maybe they was dancin' a farewell to the boys? Bear is taking yucky clavamox for his UTI-- it sounds like a song doesn't it? he makes a funny face but mom gives him a nutrical reward after he takes it. Everyone else is doing pretty good. Old Rex gets another lupron shot on MOnday-- and Sterling is gonna take a blood test. Hmmmm, I wonder what he gets if he wins the test? Matter of fact what is a test? Must be one of those special classes you think? I bet that means everything will be helter skelter a bit and we will get lots of playtime again-- HOORAY! Jest in case you were busy and couldn't make it to open house-- Mom is having the store hours by the shelter today ( Saturday from 11Am- 2PM and Sunday from 1-3 PM).
