Hey all- it's Jeri-miah! You know that special ferrety kid at Ferret Wise! Gosh it is warm weather now-- we are having a ball at Ferret Wise! Even old naughty nipper Marie is feeling better in the sun shiny weather. Why last night she came right up to shelter Dad first to go back into her cage! Surprise- surprise! The windows are open, the fan is runnin' and it smells just like a springy day! Hey that shelter Dad is pretty cool... he let me steal a tube of nutrical over the weekend-- now I would have liked for the tube to be not almost empty-- but I got one anyway! He did a pretty good job in the shelter-- you could see the surprise in shelter Mom's face! Ol' Casper starts his lupron shots like Rex next week-- he never grew the hair back on his back so shelter Mom says it is time. I hear he has a gorgeous silver coat when he feels best. Bear is doin really good- he enjoyed the quality time with shelter DAD. He waked up and Dad would let him run the upstairs place at 1 AM everyday! Mom was so impressed he has a softer coat, and whiter coat now since she was gone. I think he is ready to take walks in the grass. He sure does love that. Shelter Mom is looking into microwater for Bear to give him more quality time, wonder what that tastes like? Bear got s a new sack form his secret Santa Lisa- she gave it to mom in PA on Saturday. Mom got to meets lots of folks she hadn't talked to in a very long time. Of course she didn't do so well with the slide show she killed the sound card Dad said - it was a quiet show and I am afraid not enough folks saw my handsome face there now! :( Well we is all excited-- the raffle for the ferret print by artist Clara Rodriguez is coming up in June- get your tickets if you want them-- someone will get this nifty framed print for their ferrety home. To see it go to the web site at url www.ferretwise.org and scroll down. Things are shaping up for Ferretstock II. Tee shirt orders are being taken for the new design! Shelter Mom is scurrying to get the sponsors lined up and they have auction items all ready including some memorabilia from Woodstock music festival 1969!!!! I just can't wait. My other shelter Mom Donna is coming up from MA too! They will have ferret games and crafts for humans like soap and lip balm making- stamp art cards and more- I think there may even be an artist coming, of course she will want to draw your's truly Jerimiah for sure! Get the costumes ready they will be picking a ferret tie dye king & queen-- I can't wait to see this one!
