It's about 8:30 pm, 7/30/04. Time to thank the universe. The first and second ferret run groups have been out. They played in their area for 6 hours per group. Play area is clean and steralized for the last group to run from 9:00Pm until 7:00Am tomorrow. All the cages have fresh clean potty box's The shelter kids all have a tent/and or dream cup ( a generous donation from a very old friend.). They are cuddling in them. There is fresh food in each food bowl and very good water in each water bottle/cup Everyone is doing well - Splash is gaining weight. The dogs here are settled - their ferret charges confortable. The Sun Concure ( a recent rescue) is on her porch, in her cage on the porch. She/ he is only 8 months old this August 4, but she lost her human when she was only 3 mounths old. She's a bird, she's different from us but we are learning. Our Web Store is up and people are visiting. Miracles happened today! We are blessed! Know that everyday a Miracle happens to a Shelter Mom or Dad - remember that, support that! Chere McCoy Shelter Mom, FFIRC [Posted in FML issue 4590]
