Thank you Tara for posting and clearing up the confusion. I just thought I'd let you all know that I knew nothing of the original post about Sammy until I got it by e mail. I was a bit upset that I was not asked before a post concerning the shelter was put out. I don't think anyone meant any harm, but it really upset me for a few reasons. First I know of Sammy and his owner, I looked at the ferret over a week ago and advised the owner to get him to a vet, his abdomen was large and needed to be checked, he didn't seem in any pain but it does need to be addressed. Second, I knew how the ferret was aquired and was mad that Tara was lied to, she played on her emotions with a completly heartbreaking lie. I also was upset that I was connected and approved of the arraingement which I knew nothing of. I don't use Park anymore since Dr. K left, we do owe a balance from an emergency surgery and meds that one of my foster picks up from there because she lives very close to there. I do use Cheyenne West, which always has a running balance that ranges from 200 to 1000 on a daily basis. So please know that Sammy is not a shelter ferret, but he does need help. What Tara and whoever wants to do about Sammy is none of my business, and I keep my opnions to myself. I appriciate that any left over funds will go to help get the shelter bill balance down at Park Animal Hospital. I'm sorry for any confusion this all has caused, I never would in any way mislead people like that. I also don't think Tara meant to do that either.
