Hi Again! I guess I may not have been too clear, heck , with my fuzzy mind it is hard to write clearly or think for that matter. Ok, what I was saying is, bashing shelters, the idiots who turn in ferrets for no good reasons. (I have one in my lap, 8 years old, and dying, his owner didn't have time for him, I don't want him to die on me), and the goof balls that want to adopt that should be sterilized so they don't have kids. (i.e., oh, yeah, I used to have a ferret, but I gave it away after three months. I want another one, or my dog likes to kill squirrels, so I figured a ferret would be ok) All that is enough to make a shelter operator want to quit, but I plan on hanging in there. (May not have many brain cells left, but you don't need those to change litter boxes, or do water bottles) If you want to make a change, volunteer. If you think you see a problem, talk to the operator, don't go around spreading rumors, or bashing. Sometimes I think part of the problem is some people look at shelter operators as some type of saint or angel. None of us are, (Good Lord knows when I get going I could make a sailor blush) we are human and we do make mistakes, get in over our head, forget things, and do all those stupid things a human does. So don't bash, don't spread rumors, talk to us. Ask questions, even if it is a hard one to ask. You know, sometimes, we can't see the forest for the trees, and we need a little help.
