Hi to all, Well I have been very absent from posting to the FML. With all the ferrets comming into the shelter and my job I never seem to have a free minute to write. So here is a quick update. So far this year we have taken in 313 ferrets, and tomorrow we are getting in 4 babies under 1 yr and Thurs we are getting in a trio. Adoptions are very slow, not sure if its the economy or what but we have so many adoptable ferrets and no one to give them a home. We also have a large amount of ferrets that are older and will probably reside with me forever. We also have the flu, my son had it, I have it and a few of the older ferrets got hit with it, we lost 4 in the last few weeks and I have stocked up on Amoxi, bags of fluids, needles, syringes, duck soup and vitamins. We are doing a great job on keeping most everyone healthy and flu free, but its a great task. I have to give cresit to some of my most wonderful shelter angels for their help in fostering and helping me care for the sick kids. Thanks to Kelly, she is awsome!!!, to Mark and Anna for fostering some of outr elder ferrets, to Dave and Cindy for going to the ends of the earth to pick up ferrets from CaCaLand and also to Dave for being our Santa for our pic days at Petsmart. to Ed and Sandi for fostering and redong our website and its looking great!!!! to everyone sending Santa presents, thank you!! Ok now for a shamless plug. We have some great items on e bay, many don't have bids and most have really low bids on some really great stuff. We have more to put up but want to make sure things are moving along before we do. The money from the auctions will go to help with our vet bills, for feeding over 100 ferrets daily, for litter and general supplies. We really need your support to keep things rolling along. Please visit our new revised website, still under construction in some areas, and click on our e bay link and check out the great stuff we are selling. i'm sorry if my post makes no sense but I'm really fighting this flu, cold whatever thing and its nasty!!!!
