I have been meaning to post but each time things come up, my computer crashed and I borrowed the money to get it up and running again. My phone was shut off. Ferrets needing surgery, well checks, we lost Flower our 6 mth old unspayed girl from Cali, so much going on and just not enough time. I wanted to comment on so many things being discussed on the FML, like ADV, swearing, petstores, Petco, but never got around to it. All these little things seemed so important to me, some are still, but then the worst happen. A murder of a friend. A friend and co worker , Keri, was to move in with me , help with the shelter, she really needed a good place to live. she was to move in on Aug. 1st. I really liked her, many people didn't , she was outspoken, and she stood her ground when she knew she was right. Keri didn't have any ferrets as she knew she was in no place to properly care for one. she loved them though, and was always educating people in the store on them and promoting proper care. she brought everyone over to the adoption center to see the ferrets and always hoped that one would get a wonderful home. Keri lived with her brother, a deadbeat, a bum, but she loved him and didn't want to just bail out on him. Her kindness killed her. Keri was found murdered, her naked body thrown in a dumpster outside her apartment. Not even identified by her family for 2 days. Her brother is wanted for murder, I know he killed her, he didn't want to lose his meal ticket, she stood up for herself and was moving out. I talked to the detectives, he is still out there, I'm a bit uneasy. He knows me, he knows where I live. He is dangerous. i hope they catch him soon, I missed on days work, and my life needs to get back to as much as normal as it ever was. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, but don't be so harsh on each other, don't sweat the little things, life is to short. The people at work that treated Keri badly, just because they didn't like her are really feeling bad now. i know Keri is safe now, and I hope she's up there playing with the animals as she loved them all. I tried to help her, to rescue her froma bad situation, its what I do best. i just didn't make her move soon enough, she didn't want to abandon her brother. I'll be back soon giving my unwanted opnions and updates on the shelter, and some very late thank yous!!! Just need to get it all together again. Take care, CJ 24 Carat Ferret Rescue And Shelter [Posted in FML issue 3863]
