Hi all, Well its been very busy here this last few weeks. Getting ready to move is crazy enough, but on top of that it seems like the ferrrets are comming in by the groups! 13 in the last 2 weeks, 3 more today, 2 tomorrow and one on Sunday. Sadly many are older ferrets and will probably have a very hard time finding forever homes. The good news is my friend Julie has made some wonderful one of a kind ferret items that she listed on e bay to help with the medical costs of all the ferrets. There are glass treat jars, wooden trinket boxes, a tea tray, and a step stool. she etched each one by hand and when these are gone it may be a while before any more are available. please take a look at these great items, here are the links: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=884839362 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=884846249 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=884851553 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=884852083 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=884852549 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=884855304 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=884855776 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=884845363 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=884852272 Thanks for checking out these items! i'll be updating on the ferret soon, but just to let you know, Bigfoot is doing great, he has learned to get around on his stump very well. Annie Bones is still a big fatty! Do-be-do still is having blood problems but doing ok otherwise. Oatmeals lump came back with no definate diagnosis, we are leaving it alone for now, it seems to be a large calcium deposit on his spine. I want to thank everyone for supporting the shelter, just so you know, us shelter mom's are just the ringleaders, we could not have the circus without all the supporting performers. We need the foster mom's, the adopting parents, helpers, donaters, the shoulder's to cry on, SOS, BIG and the FML, Ferret's magazine, the webmasters, sewers, friends, family, the ferret store. These and more help make the shelters run, we are not super humans and could not do it alone. so I just wanted to let you all know just how much you are appriciated and needed by both me and the ferrets. You guys rock!!! Take care, CJ 24 Carat Ferret Rescue And Shelter "where ferrets are treated like gold" [Posted in FML issue 3814]
