Hi Folks- It's the almost gone bye Calendar boy Jerimiah-- I so will miss not being the shining face on the calendar page :( And we had some other saddish news. Our shelter star" Mr Casper Cheweasel Ferretwise"- has faded away. He took his last foamy frie and headed to the bridge on Sunday. The folks here have been so very sad the best beggar ( that's what they called him) no longer is at their feet. Here spent many a day at Ferret Wise getting better- he was almost starved to death and then had a huge hairball in his belly.. Dr Karen removed it and he started to get healthier. Casper was a funny fellow- He NEVER knew he was a ferret. He used to scream at all the kids.. I remember the stories. Finally they had to take him out of the shelter and he got along great with the upstairs cat-- then finally he got to go to a hospice home where he lived with several old kitties who he adored. He adored the canned cat food, the kitty treats any old treats that Casper adored Well we are a tiny bit sad as it is retest time for the ADV's test at Ferret wise which means we all get to the vets next week and they takes blood samples to send out-- so until all the tests come back we can't get anymore company in and no one can go to new places-- so sad :( I will have to devise a plan to keep everyone on their toes. I am so waiting for the Easter ferret... what could he be bringing this time? Well meanwhile there is hammies and fun stuff on ebay and all of the auctions will help us get tested so we can have new homes and help keep ferrets healthy! If you need a Spring Fling surprise for someone- please check out the goods. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult &query=ferret+wise&ht=1&itemtimedisp=0&st=2&SortProperty=MetaEndSort &Basic I am writing more stories to tell yas - as I have plenty to tell! There has been so much going on at the shelter. Miss Curly is awaiting an adrenal surgery-- but we have to test first mama says -- so she can recover quickly- All in all I am really disappointed in the lack of snow we did not get quality snow play this year- I sure hope the Spring sets a better example. Stay tuned and be good hope the Easter ferret brings you all plenty of sunshine , smiles and treats!
