I am sorry for the lateness of this posting! I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the wonderful helper which helped my Kidz send me a Mothers Day card, for the wonderful Moms day email I did receive form Ronnie, and for the beautiful picture frame which arrived just yesterday from Lisa. I have been very busy working with ZIggyhelping him regain good health after near starvation.. He still has a ways to go before he can have vaccinations and we are now tackling some anemia, but he surely is improving every day. Now I have gotten the newest abandoned shelter kid Baby ADV tested - we await results at the end of this week- and I have been trying to ferrets and counsel several families associated with the shelter with their sick kids. AND now assisting my personal ferret, who though suffering from cardiomyopathy , must have a surgery for excision of what we hope will be a benign cancer.. Phew- not to mention that we ( shelter dad & myself) are putting in OT helping his Mom who is currently in a nursing home regain living in her own home... and not to mention our beloved shelter hospice Mom Judy & Christian her hubby - Christian has just returned home form 5 days in ICU and Judy has surgery ( knee) on May 21st-- so for them we ask some good thoughts & prayers. Life tends to get so busy these days I can barely find time to post. We do hope to see some of you at the annual Ice Cream Social & Yankee Swap Saturday - May 15 1-3 PM! I will be here then-- then I am off again running like crazy! Alicia, a shelter Mom www.ferretwise.org :) Many thanks to all our friends! Alicia [Posted in FML issue 4511]
