Hello my dear friends, it's been a horrible week at the shelter but we do have some happy endings as well! On Thursday evening, the shelter was brought eight little ferrets that were found in a park. Three of the eight ferrets were dead. i won't get into the details but you can read them on our site at www.ferretaid.org photos are up and can be viewed in the cruelty section of our site under "special ferrets" please note the photos are VERY GRAPHIC and should NOT be viewed by the faint of heart. The other surviving kids are holding their own but many of them are showing extreme fear behavior. The shy girl, Beta tries to drag her sisters away from any human that comes near. Please keep them in your thoughts. mommie asks me to thank Laura for her $25 donation and Jeff for his $50 donation to help in getting these kids looked after. she also asked me to thank Karen "Scruff You Gang" for her offer of a statue, Julie "21st century ferret" for her offer of bracelets and Kim "Rogue's Ferret Den" for her offer of a ferret afghan. With you help, these ferrets will know love - FINALLY. Also this week, Trouble, a female Pit Bull found a half frozen ferret during her nightly pee session. She warmed him and stayed by his side all night long. The ferret's owner was soon found and Romeo was reunited with his Juliet and his mommie, a young deaf girl. Since the girl lives very close to Trouble, she has been visiting the Pit Bull with her ferrets almost on a nightly basis for some play time! Some great news - our "Gruesome twosome" our "Itchie and Scratchie" our little Lila and Stitchie have found forever homes! The two girls went to their new homes on Friday and have two kids to play with and a huge doggie to chase around. They are happy and out of the shelter! please know i'm sending ferret kisses to each one of you and your loved two and four legged friends. all my love, Harley "Bug" The Ferret Aid Society "For the Love of our Fuzzy Friends" www.ferretaid.org <http://www.ferretaid.org/> [Posted in FML issue 4675]
