The Extremeweezils.com with the site I love so much with their movies and ferret cam were kind enough to put up the first pictures of Maria a few weeks after surgery-about 2 and a half months after bringing her home. If you wish, you can see her story and pictures at www.extremeweezils.com/special.html or pictures that are enlarged at www.extremeweezils.com/featurepics.html Heidi works long hours, and works hard. My deepest thanks for her loving ferret site of HER beauties. When I am burnt out at the end of the day after the wee ones are down for the night, I like to watch extremeweezil movies. The extremeweezils also have given a lovely donation to GCFA =the ferret shelter in such great financial need now. And they helped me out financially at a time I had just taken in Mini-Me a few months earlier with bills I was still paying off for her. We are working on Marias bills this month. And my gratitude for ALL of you sharing in an event in which a little girl ferret was left to die in the pet store window. As the pet shop owner told me-she did not have much longer to live. He was just going to leave her there in the window until she did die, since she had cancer anyway. I am looking down on her right now as she is waddling around snuffling the cat.. She looks-THIS morning-like a little mole. A little brown mole! Geeeesh, she is cute. **I do not know if the extremeweezils.com know it but there is a picture of a fully furred tazmanian devil in with Maria pictures. It is Miss Mini--Me!!!!!!*** God bless the many people out there rescuing ferrets or caring for our disappearing wildlife. Lisette [Posted in FML issue 3498]
