I feel so bad doing this; I hate to ask people for help. First of all let me say that my ferrets mean everything to me and getting rid of them is NOT an option. And let me also say that the ferrets are not in danger of running out of food or supplies anytime in the near future. Okay, here is a little background info: everything was great and stable for me until the end of Feb when I lost my job. Since then I've been trying like crazy to find another job; ANY other job, and I'm either over qualified or under qualified, it's so frustrating. So, in the meantime until I finally get a job I've been making ferret bedding and selling it on ebay and my website (thank you all for your support). At first I started the auctions to raise money for the $331.00 vet bill I have from when Sneaker had lyomyosarcoma, but after I lost my job the ferret bedding became my only source of income. The money from the bedding is enough to barely slide by. Not really enough though, considering I haven't been able to make a car payment since the end of March. But nonetheless, I have been living 100% off the sales of the ferret bedding. Until about 2 nights ago when my digital camera broke, now I am unable to take pictures to post auctions on ebay. I know you can post auctions with no pictures, but I've tried that before with very poor results. I was wondering if anyone had a digital camera that they don't use, or if anyone knows where to find a quality, CHEAP digital camera. All I need it for is to take pictures of hammocks and such. I KNOW I will get a job sooner or later, but not knowing how long it will take is very unsettling. I know my ferrets have enough food for about a month, but I'm already worried about what will happen after that. I'm not exactly asking for handouts, but I will not turn away help right now either. My address is Lynlee Larson 101 Woodward St. LaPorte, IN 46350 Help with the $331.00 vet bill can be sent directly to the clinic Magranes Pet Medical Center 3945 Edison Lakes Parkway Mishawaka, IN 46544 please feel free to e-mail me with any suggestions you may have. Thank you all, ferret people are the BEST! Lynlee p.s. I got a Mothers Day card from 'the kids' too! It absolutely made my day. I don't know who sent it, but it was so wonderful and unexpected, thank you. [Posted in FML issue 4506]
