Hi you guys-- JERIMIAH HERE! and boy have I got a story for you! Seems the Spring time always brings more things to do. And yesterday shelter MOm took Big ol Bear in for his tummy reduction visit at the vets-- I think the hooks him up to a suckee machine like we have here for the rice that we spill in the bucket-- and they pulls all that water out so he can walk better! Yep, that's what I think. Well she is workin kinda hard to get all the things done-- us all tidied up and such before she goes to the PA ferret show to sell hammies-- check em all out so I can have some more cheerio's okay?? ANyway, today was Rex's turn to go see the vet for a Lupron treatment-- well Mom was hurrryin up cause the TF delivery truck was coming with lots of food for all of us and she needed to be back to unload it. BUT the darndes t thing happened on her way back the traffic stopped ... it stopped and stopped and stopped and she and Rex was ust sittin there in old Green the rolling ferret transport machine. They couldn't go anywhere. They sats there about 1 1/2 miles form the shelter for over an hour. Finally the gas was getting a little low-- Mom was runnin AC so Rex would be comfy as we got so much sunshine all 2 feet of snow melted in 1 day and now we are really feeling like sunshine! Anyway she finally had to park the van and walk with Rex back to the shelter. Poor ol' Rex he was all shook up from bouncing in that carrier-- so glad to be on the shelter floor again-- I bet he won't want to go in big Green again anytime soon! What they saw was a pick up truck had crunched into a tractor trailer truck head on Main Street. That made all the traffic stop and a helicopter had to take some poor human to his vet-- sure hope me makes out okay-- there was pieces of the pickup truck everywhere as they cut it all into little pieces! Wonder if we can have some to play in we could make a play truck castle! But we can't get any TF food today I guess we is gonna have to wait a whole week now as no traffic was allowed through for most of the day while they is taking pictures and vestigatin' and such-- SO we can't have company today-- Come by tomorrow instead! Mom said she is glad anyway she is beat and her knee doesn't want to go anywhere right now-- so we all get to play like nothing special happened and eat plain old Superior Choice for a week-- I sure hope she gets more of them 8 in 1 ultimate stars too! I like them but not as much as cheerio's, ferretone and nutrical for sure! I guess Mom is pretty busy cause she is trying to get stuff organized for shelter Dad who did such a good job last time he took care of us he gets us for 4 days this time! Least this time he doesn't have to worry about buddy Cornelius who is safe and happy and giving kisses to his new Mom Mary in NY. This will be great 4 days of stealing ferretone & nutrical I cannot complain! :) Sheter Mom will see all the PA folks Saturday and Bears Secret Santa wants to meet her too! I jest worry about Bear-- he really might miss shelter MOM! Maybe I will let him know that she will bring him back something special. In case you is wondering Mom put some special hammies on ebay and some other fun stuff too! There is a GIANT TUNNEL Sack form the kind folks at The Ferret Store too-- I wanted her to give it to us-- I will have to work on her some more sow we can get one to run through.. check these things out and I am sure there will be more stuff when she gets back with all her trip adventure stories-- but none of them will be as good as the story Rex just tol me!
