Hi all, Jerimiah here! Boy oh boy- what a time I had getting to the computer-- things have been soooo busy lots going on. Annabella got sick and Mom had her go to the hospital for a belly operation. The vet found her all full of plastic pieces... Rex told me Mom said it was thin sheets all curled up inside that belly which was making her sick. I guess when she and Marie first came they was real skinny and hungry-- and Marie still is real skinny and cranky-- anyways - they figured it was a thin plastic coating from the insides of a pet food bag. Now they is planning for Marie to have the same belly fixing soon so she might not be so cranky and she might shape up jest fine! In the middle of all this Mom had to take 'ol Green the rollin machine for a new muffler, that was the easy part, a few days later they took it for a check up at the garage and found it had broken legs- sort of. OH my poor ol' Green. Now that si one neat guy-- he takes all us kids everywhere we need to go, and Mom even lets me sometimes run inside his belly! The poor guy had axles adn tie rods they must be legs right? and springs & shocks a whole bunch of bones that needed to be replaced- and it made Mom really sad. She had to cancel appointments adn vet visits and all for a whole week until he was all better. Phew now she will be taking in Nikki and Snickers for vaccinations, Rex for his lupron and the new kids for check ups. A whole lots of stuff needs to be doen like getting the wood pellets andall before the snow arrives. Sigh... AND I am really REALLY excited. See we haven't chatted for a while but the twin tower kids Summer & Solstice passed their ADV test-- they is negative and now when Nikki leaves maybe they can move into my luxury townhose! That would be super new YOUNGSTERS to teach all my favorite trickes to- steal the ferretone and twist off the cap... spill the cheerio's etc. Oh and I figured somethin' out- Mom won't buy us Cheerio's cause that Uncle BOB said they wasn't good for us ( what does he know anyway!) but if folks donate them- she still lets us have them for snack-- SO everybody don't forget to send some Cheerio's ! :) It was real nice that someone sent 4 tubes of nutrical- and I am sure MOM would want me to say thank you ' cuz it was almost a whole week that Annabelle ate only that after her surgery. Must be that belly fix hurt or something Mom was really worried. But she is just fine- missing belly hair but the folks took all the shoelaces out of her belly tonight and she is doing super! We is gonna have folks over next Thursday- for Pumpkin carving- that's when Mom will put my handsome face on a pumpkin and put a candle inside so everyone can see how handsome I am! Lots of folks will stop by to make their ferret pumpkins - or drop some off -- adn the folks take them all into town to help other folks admire us ferret kids! I will be FAMOUS! I AM FAMOUS- I almost forgot.
