HI Friends! It's your ol' friend Jerimiah here - ya know that handsome boy with a chocolate spot! Well we are having fun here - yessirree! Let me tell you since Mom got back she has not been herself. The guys say she is snifflin sumpin' awful from allergees - but we all gots our nails trimmed with ferretone and lemme tell you -- she sure was runnin' yesterday yessirree! Seems she was filling the water bottles in the shelter other room and after she was done, she brought them into the big room and put the spare ones on the shelf. She didn't know the door was left not tight enough and after she left.... Yep, you got it right-- the youngsters whom I have been grooming steadily in the best of ferret ways - managed to bump that door enough so it just popped open! What a riot! She was working in the office and heard these lump-bumping noises-- I guess she went first upstairs, then downstairs looking for a big ferret scuffle. Much to her surprise she found no scuffles but instead found 7 busy ferrets moving things around and emptying trash , dumping buckets, spreading stuff across the floor, and lots more in the art room! OH BOY! she was scooping them ferrets up one-two three! Teeheehee! Finally she got everyone contained- cleaned cages and THEN we got out to play a tad bit early! Thank you KIDS! :) That was a fun time for them and more fun for me-- I also got to have some N-Bones form my friend Stormy! Then Mom went back to work on getting new faces ready for the shelter web site.. she finally managed and all the adoptable kids http://www.usaexpress.net/~xtasyferrets/page18.html and the foster kids are newly listed on the web site in the see pics link. http://www.usaexpress.net/~xtasyferrets/page22.html Phew must be a lots of work-- Aunt Judy called and she has been seein' lots of doctors but won't go into the hospital until next month. Things are going okay there Mom is not making as many trips over-- she says a few times a week is good. In hear that in the AM two of the youngsters get to go to their new home Sox and Marshall are gonna be Maniacs! Woohoo maybe I can go visit them sometime. I did real good on my trip to Ferretstock! The kids Disney, Curley an Jillian go back for Lupron's next week and the following week the kids over in hospice get theirs.. so Mom said I could be the boss while she is away. I really really like that - I hope she leaves the treat jar where I can help myself-- but don't tell okay? I am beginning to wonder if anyone is going to dress in a Jerimiah costume this Halloween- I think they should. Maybe iffen someone makes a costume and sends pictures Mom will let me send a prize out to the best Jerimiah costume- whadda ya think? On Halloween the doorbell rigs here all night- but i can never manage to get to it.. maybe just maybe this year! I hear there are some Halloween beds on ebay to help us shelter kids - as well as some other stuff. feel free to check it all out at : http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems &include=0&userid=creativekolor&sort=2&rows=25&since=-1&rd=1 Well we are still having Pumpkiin Carving night at the shelter for all who want to come along - check it out at: www.feretwise.org/calendar.html This year Portland, ME and Keene, NH are duelling for top number of pumpkins-- how many ferret ones will we have?
