Hi All- Jerimiah here - yes the handsome boy at Ferret Wise shelter! Well we can tell it is getting near that magic day when Santa Paws greets all of us with special goodies. I just have to tell you about the latest happenings here. Mom got a call ( Rex told me this in his special ferret way -- my ears are still not working!) for Connie- seems Connie adopted Squirt a LONG time ago here at the shelter-- but Rex remembers! Anyway Connie came and adopted Squirt for Beanie- her real name is Sabrina but Connie and us call her "Beanie". They lives together for a long time. Then last year poor old Squirt lost his hair- his 'drenal got tired and later he went to the Rainbow Bridge. NOw some folks think he went there to get things ready for Bear-- anyways-- Beanie and her Mom p[layed and had fun by theirselves for a bit, and jest a few weeks ago - poor Beanie got real tired and just fell asleep. She and Squirt are playing together again-- so they won't need their toys. That's how we got Beanie's gifts. Mom Connie came over-- now first I thought she might steal away a playmate or two but NOOOO -- shelter dad started helping her first one bag, then another , then another-- why there was lots of stuffs her and we was all watching them as they moved about. Connie unpacked some neat sacks and soft sleepy stuffs, some towels for bath day, and toys lots of sparkly toys- she said they wasn't new - but they sure seem new to me! Mom was looking a little weepy but Connie jest kept her real busy like! AND then- she brought in a playland set with a turret, tower and a house all covered in carpet. Jest for us. Then Connie gave us all some Cheerios! Superb! Then last time I saw Rex said Connie was on her way to meet a Dude at his ranch-- hope you are having fun Connie- come back again okay? What a magic time we have been moving things about and playing for days now! I know little Beanie is watching over all of us kids- who else could tell us where to put every little thing?
