Hey All, I haven't posted in a while but this whole "Tiny Paws Thing" has got me a bit miffed. Admittedly, I have never talked to anyone from this particular shelter or rescued a ferret from them but it occurs to me that not everyone can have 501A status. This "shelter" takes in ferrets and occasionally needs help, that's good enough for me here's some money. Who are we to judge? The last time I checked we weren't the Teamsters and you didn't have to be part of a special club to auction things on E Bay. I really like the fact that Tiny Paws takes it upon themselves to raise their own money as opposed to receiving it from SOS and if I actually had money left on my card I'd gladly help ($800 vet bill :S). I also really liked the bit about the "new" boat: I own (not a shelter) 11 ferrets which I rescue, I have yet to have to turn any away, my most recent vet bill was over $880 (Oscar the Wonder Ferret), but I actually own a boat (with a motor even) and I don't feel that this makes me less of a ferret owner. It's hardly a yacht, but it helps me keep my sanity and I enjoy fishing and I don't think that Tiny Paws should have to apologize for extra curricular activities, especially when they don't increase the burden already placed on SOS or ask for money for nothing, they are selling things to help defray the costs of their responsibility and I for one don't see anything wrong with that.
