I am so incredibly grateful to everyone for all of their help, kind words, donations and care packages. A secial thanks to Dr. Stephon and Avecon who rushed through a LOT of ADV tests today. The news was great--ALL ARE ADV NEGATIVE!!!! The following folks sent along ccare packages which the ferrets are enjoying as I write: *Michael and Phyllis Cole who sent a HUGE box full of bedding, toys, treats, carpet pieces, and much more! *Katrina for the blankets *Beth for the WONDERFUL candles (my favorite scent, too!!) *Tamara and CFO for the water bottles and Nutrical *Glenda for the unbelievable donation of litter *Dawna for the blankets *Angela for the blankets Also, thanks to the folks who had the Ferret Store send the Yesterdays News. Sorry that I don't know who you are, there is nothing in the packages to indicate :-( Thanks also to Sukie for helping me out with some research, and to Jim Scott and Colleen Flynn (who *gasp* doesn't even really know what a ferret is) for the legal advice. Also many thanks to Matt for helping with cages tonight, and Alison and her husband for helping last night (sorry I had to work and didn't get to meet you!) The ferrets are all feeling much better, as evidenced by the ruckus they've been kicking up tonight! I had to rearrange cagemates again, as a few girls decided they didn't like each other anymore. We have a crew of 22 getting ready for a long trip to New England on Saturday. I had one of the boys in the house with me while I was on the phone earlier tonight, he was so happy to be running around :-) We've really fallen in love with these ferrets, and hope that they all find homes that will love and cherish them as much as they really need and deserve to be loved.
