I just off the phone with CJ at 24 Carat Rescue and Shelter in Las Vegas. What a time she is having, It seems just when things start to calm down for her, something else happens. I had called her regarding a rescue she is doing for us in CA. We were talking about all the rescues we had been doing, and I found she has taken in 40 ferrets in the last 3 weeks. People are driving them in from CA. ( I think that's from the Ferrets Magazine publicity). As we were talking she told me that Jewel the little naked ferret that some of us visited with at the symposium had passed over the bridge. But then she told me about Slim Shady. Slim Shady is one of the ferrets that Mary Lou Zarbock from Ferrets Magazine and her friend sponsored. Slim passes very quickly over the bridge last weekend. CJ is devested , she was in tears in the phone. As all you shelter moms know some of these animals that pass through tug your heart more than others. My heart and prayers go out to CJ. I thank her for all she does for us in CA. I just don't know what we would do without her. I know CJ is having a hard time right now. If anyone can find it in their heart to send her a few dollars, the money will go for good use. CJ Jones -24 Carat Shelter- 5383 Via De s Dr. - Las Vegas, CA 98102.
