Hello all, I am sorry it has been so long but to save money for the shelter I had to get rid of our cable modem and had no on line acess until a few days ago when we had a friend insert a real dial up type. So I am back :-) I wanted to update everyone on Brodie the wonder ferret. He is still with us, he is a tough little guy but worries me often. He recovered real well from his neglect and even got up to 2 pounds, but the he got sick again and went to under a pund. Then back up to two pounds, now he is doing poor again. We still have not figured out why he does this, he will stop eating and I will have to force feed him for days and then he perks up again. All his blood work is good and x-rays so it is a mistery as is who left him in the cold to die. As for Ferrets Etc. I am still struggling, but trying to make it. I am up to 46 ferrets so I go for am to pm never to stop. Financially it is killing me but I just do not have the heart to close the shelter. I am sure things will turn around and adoptions and donations will pick up when the economy gets better so until then I just amm trying not to have my home forclosed on. :-0 So far I have sold all my jewlery to pay bills and other such stuff. I have done rescue on Colorado for 10 years now and have never seen it so bad. So many in, so few adopted. And lots of old guys. I have 2 adrenals right now and a old guy named "Charlie" who came in abused very bad, I am trying to get him back on his feet. I am still looking for any volunteers to help me with fundraisning ideas so I do not lose the house or have our utilities shut off. And any foster homes would be great. I just do not have much time to fundraise with all the ferrets, I really have to clean all day and feed. Plus my 2 legged children need me as do the other animals around here. So any ideas would be great. I even tried to write to 200 celebrities to ask for signed memerobilia (sp?) to raffle off, and guess what not one reponse. I was very upset at that. I am also in desperate need of Fervac-d and amoxi for the crew. Anyway take care all. Stephanie Presidebt Ferrets Etc [Posted in FML issue 4245]
