Hi all, just wanted to drop a line stating a few things. 1-I met someone from the FML in need of a fert sitter for the week of xmas. Well, we met last night and her Spaz is here with me and my 9 other fuzzies. Things are going well. Point is when I met her (Karen and her husband) from CT, they are such nice people. Again-point being that I've noticed that Ferret lovers happen to be very nice people. Judging from the stories on the FML. Ive read such kind, considerate, generous stories of humanity its refreshing. Unfortunately there are some sad stories which I really hate to read about. IM unemployed right now but I read the story about a shelter in Las Vegas, Angel Ferret, and even though I'm broke I'm going to send 10.00 along with a xmas card for Cosmo-the sick ferret. I love ALL Ferrets and I wish I could do more. However, IM having difficulties myself. No job, no money, rent, car payment, credit card bills, etc.,,,,,,, and with the holidays here its extra difficult. But I just wanted to say if we all could afford, 5.00, 10.00 to donate to someone in need of care for a sick fuzzy, if we ALL help with a little bit of money it can really add up. So if you can sacrifice a couple of dollars, give up a cup of coffee and a snack, that can help a fuzzy in need, isn't it worth it? I believe in the good in people. Sometimes I get hurt believing this. For example, Eppy, lost in Wisconsin. The CRUELTY of some children kills me. I got a knot in my stomach and tears in my eyes when I read Donnas post. Donna- I cannot imagine the pain your going through. I shutter to think of myself in your shoes. Lord, I pray for Eppy. May he be safe and free from fear. IM not a religious person, however, on occasion Ive be known to pray. I have prayed for Eppy, and you Donna. I just wanted to say that I see a pattern of kindness in people whom are owned by ferrets. I will never be without the fuzzies. They have reached a place in my heart that I didn't even think was obtainable. They bring so much joy to my life, I couldn't imagine my life without them, and how empty it would be. I want to thank ALL the fuzzies in the world for bringing joy, happiness and love into society. I always try to educate people that I come across about ferrets and how WONDERFUL they are. IM so sorry for rambling on. I just wanted to say how happy they make me and how sorry I am for all the sick fuzzies out there and their families that a suffering. I'll do whatever I can to help out. Thanks for listening,,,,,, Kelly & Sukka, Mikey, Rockie, Teddy, Lucky, Bandit, Rubie, Peanut, Sandie, and my visitor for the holidays, Spaz. :) [Posted in FML issue 3637]
