Hey all you cute ferret lassies- It's your best pal Jerimiah! :) The handsome lad at Ferret Wise Shelter! Oh sure I am saying hello to all my guy pals too -- BUT on Easter well you know it is time to pay a little attention to the gals in their Easter finery! :) Well our friend Ulyssey's has made his way home to the seacoast-- you know he sure lucked out-- he has 2 galfriends already that are doting all over him. I hear they were sprawled on top of him in the hammy on the trip to his new house. He is gonna be happy a great big room and no cage except during sleepy time at night! Ahhhhh a ferrets dream! I think little Marie may miss him a bit they were snugglin some but shelter Mom says she knows she can find a new friend for Marie very soon! Yes sireee friends sure do come an go here! Bear is still holdin' his own in the upstairs quarters. He is slurpin' lots of soup now and hiding his treats-- not eating them so much. He was restlin' in a plastic bag and Mom was laughing something crazy about that. Seems he gets a day with lots of energy now & then. It is nice he is gonna be seein' the Easter ferret again. By the way the folks at Brodie's house were happy he is still chipper and happy-- even though he can't use the old back legs to walk-- he too made it to another Easter. These old guys just like the Springtime! :) We have been able to have the fresh air fill the shelter on the days that get warm-- what a way to go-- the kids get so very excited. Mom was really happy that the windows are up high so no one could escape to the outdoors! I hear the folks are all getting excited about Ferretstock- and the tee shirt orders are starting to come in the mail now. Guess we are getting pretty famous for our tie dye fun event! Mom said the shelter will have a reception area on the night before Ferretstock at the hotel where folks can stay with their ferrets- I think I should go and say hi to everyone! Maybe they will have Foamy Fries there you think? It is gonna be something all right-- this year there are more "things" for human folks to do...besides playing games with us fur kids they will be able to make stamp art cards to help a shelter--- make lip gloss or scented soap, and I hear Mom is looking for an artist to do ferret sketches for folks-- so if you are handy with markers, pastels or pencils give her a call- or email! Casper still isn't growing any hair back after his drenal surgery-- hmmmm what a funny picture he makes! :) We are awaiting pictures of the June's Angel gal -- we hear she gained some weight at her new hospice house and Mom said she would let us see when the pictures arrive-- I can hardly believe she made it-- she was so darned skinny-- I didn't dare pick on her! Cornelius is doing better IF he gets his pred stuff 2 times a day-- he has a hard time walking if only one time a day-- that means something-- but darned if I can figure out what??? He leaves to go to his new hospice house with Aunt Mary on Saturday next. I sure will miss the guy-- he is a happy mellow cus! It was sure fun when Mom went away last weekend-- guess what Mom found in the cage the next day when she came back-- ;) I don't know how but the nutrical tube jest happened to get lost in the cage .... ;) wasn't much left either! Mom worked real hard getting all the cages in tip top shape cause we got to batch a bit while Dad was home. The rice box was a real favorite too-- Mom says it is almost time to put a new aroma rice in! Ohh like them nifty new smells specially the jasmin one. There is some neat stuff on ebay-- even a GI Ferret tent for FLO members! Lots of new stuff to help out with the ADV test fund for the shelter kids here! I hear they need to raise a parcel of pennies so everyone can have their tests-- adn speaking of such-- the shelter vet will be at Ferretstock with both a rabies vaccination clinic AND ADV tests will be available for those folks who want them for their ferret kids. NOw reemeber all you ferrets be sure to keep those humans on a leash-- they might get lost if you don't! That is a good tip for Springtime outings too! They sure is thinking of everything this time... Guess they want to get it right this time :) Well if you get bored with the weather and want to scoot over to eaby check these out: Splash resist bowl ends 4/19 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1229898981 GI Ferret Tent ends 4/16 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1229031819 CozE Castle ends 4/19 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1229892670 Unicorn Special sleeper ends 4/19 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1230119986 I am sure there will be more stuff later- after she gets all them danged papers ready for the tax man! ;) Hope all you ferrety friends are staying happy & healthy! Give your humans a hug or tw-o- somedays they really can use it! Thanks to my new gal friend Chanelferret-- she had her Mom bid on hammies-- and they told mom to give them to the old ferrets here- to enjoy! Can you believe that? Hahaha well I get to share with Rex cuz he is a real old guy-- and we just happen to share the same cage-- thanks so much! I sure hope my ol pal Schnapps is feeling better-- he got all flustered in the shelter fundraising competition-- guess he is the winner though-- cuz folks bought more of his hammies than my pens-- I will find something else to beat cha later guy! NOw get better! Your pal-- Jerimiah Jr Mascot Ferret Wise Shelter www.ferretwise.org [Posted in FML issue 3389]
