This is part of the Thank-you note "report" to the sweet lady from The Ferret Mailing List who sent gifts and home-made hammies and sleep-sacks...she'll get the snail-mail "entire" version, too! :) ...Susie Lee-Hurley. ONLY this Very Morning, (we got the mail in the afternoon) little, frail Cecelia Cinnamon got one of the Lupron shots for adrenal symptoms she is showing on top of chronic anemia which she has been bravely battling for almost a year and a half, since she came into our care. Her cage-mate and best friend is Lady CokeLeSweet, an albino who once was a "biter" but has learned all about our "Only Love" treatment and now no longer bites. She's forgotten anything ever to do with biting anyone. After over 19 months with us, she has even forgotten all about biting at her last rescue-person whom she used to bite before she came to us, and that person was able, on a visit with us, to hold and cradle Lady CokeLeSweet in a hug, and be offered only a Kiss from her once-"biter"-ferret. (part of that treatment secret is that I would offer Lady CokeLeSweet her "duck soup" and, at first, her medicines, too, warmed from on the open palm of my hand, so that she gradually grew to trust the human hand, once again, as she showed her patent dislike of being scruffed to be given food and meds.) Gusselwaite is growing fur! It's about half-a-centimeter long (like four-day-old super-soft beard-fuzz J ) all over his once-hairless self! He's also roving and bounceing like a young-at-heart 8-year-old kid, more than an 9-year-old ferret, so there's another Big Plus"score" for both the Lupron as a "safe" treatment for his adrenal disease symptoms for his elderly-ferret-self. And when he's tired and wants to rest, what a fantastically comfortable snooze he snoozes in his super-soft, and extra-wide hammie you have made for him! As for Evander Brown! THERE is one happy old ferret! Regal he looks in his Evander-sized new hammie AND surrounded by three of the other five ferrets of his "troop" (look like ferret-petals of a gigantic ferret-"rose", resting prettily all around one another in the "Super"-hammie!) ((Evander-sized! J )) The super-Soft-sleepy-sack I've put into the "little-old-ladies'"-quarters, so that it's shared by Baby-Doll Babushka, Simone So-Lovely, and Felicia Ferrette. Nearby to them, Caira The Winsome and her brother, Shadow Superguy, are right this minute a-snuggled into their gift-hammies, too. (isn't it nice being able to call one's fur-beings by their Whole names?!) Thank You, Again!, Susie Lee-Hurley (see most of our fur-beings on ) www.WeLoveFerrets.com [Posted in FML issue 3922]
