Master Largos November 2004 News Cub Reporter Andy Reporting OH NO! Now what am I going to do? My Mr. Bones has gone to join Master Largo on Rainbow Bridge and now I have 8 paws to fill. What am I going to do? I just do not know what I am going to do! My mum's heart is breaking so I can't ask her what to do, does anyone out there have any idea what I can do now that I am all alone to do the news? This is what happened, Mr. Bones could not pee one Sunday, Miss Stephanie and Mr. Tom was here trying to fix mum's dish washing machine that the mice ate, so they runned him to see our Aunt Mary and Our favorite Doc. At the same time Miss Dana and Miss Linda brought their Sophie for mum to look at cuz she was sick too. So she went up to the hospital with Mr. Bones. Mr Bones had to stay but Sophie got to go home. Miss Kaleigh and Mr. Peter brought Mr. Bones home to mum the next Monday, but when Mum saw Mr. Bones she knew it was time to let him go. He was crying and crying in pain. So the ambulance without lights and sirens took mum and Mr. Bones back up to the hospital so Mum and Mary could help Mr. Bone cross to the bridge with Mater Largo. Miss Kaleigh and Mr. Peter stayed with mum while she held Mr. Bones as he slipped into his wings and went on to greet all the fur kids up at Rainbow Bridge. Then they brought mum home again. When mum reported that Mr. Bones was gone this is what Mr. Harry sent to mum. It Sounds like Master Largo has formed Lakeroad At The Bridge, Prayers for all of the little ones who have gone. Thanks Mr. Harry mum thinks so too. The same day all of this stuff was going on Miss Stacie (Fred's far away mom) came to see if mum wanted a new 2 people bed because Miss Stacie was getting a new one and she knowed mum needed one. Mum, Miss Stacie and Miss Stephanie (Ziggy's far away mom) tried to get the bed up the stairs. That was just not going to happen. NO way; the box springs were going to go up there! But Miss Stacie and mum has an idea so we will be back up and running with a new bed for company soon! Peter took Sylvia to see Doc brought her home Nov 1 she died Nov 8 she has a tumor in her tummy, Oscar is gone 10-28-04 his insulinoma took him. Dusty; Miss Rets boy and Baby-face; Miss Trish's little girl are at the bridge with Mr. Bones and Master Largo Jacobie was in to see Doc again (Mr. Peter's and Miss Kaleigh's boy) Now I am going to try to stop talking about sad things and tell you some real happy things that has been going on here at the shelter. Oliver and Yasmina found a 4-ever home! YEAHHHHHHHH! They went to live with Susann in Endicott (Cocoa's far away mom). Mum says there are updates and reports on the web site if you want to read about them We have had some new faces here at the shelter, they are Julia, Cindi, and Anna, it is good to see new faces; it is good that they come to play with us. We like new shelter friends that come to play. We even had some old faces here too, Nichole and Rachel came to help on 10-23. Eileen, Tom and Danny, Donna, Cindy, Jessica came to help too. Everyone that came brought us stuffs... Thanks for helpen mum take care of us!!!! Oh! Oh! guess what, our favorite Doc, mums shelter and clinic day (not by name) and Mr. Dale and his fur kids are in the United Kingdom ferrets magazine. is that way cool or what? Anna called and left a message for mum saying she saw we are in another ferret's magazine here in the United States. Wow is I getting famous?? Mr. Dale took mum's store computer home with him because it is broked and she could not use it. He is going to fix it for mum. Mum got to see Bradley, Donna tracked down Stewart, Peanut and Butter. They moved to East Rochester and did not tell mum. Mum got a little bit of word from that human Andy but we think that Stewart is sick so Miss Donna is going to go back and check on them again for mum. Miss Donna lives up that way. There is a lady that makes these really cool ferret figurines, the link was sent to mum. Mum saw she made this one guy called war dancer, he is beautiful, mum fell in love with him and told Miss Kat that she thought the work was awesome and did she think Karen would mind if mum but her link on her page. Well about 3 or 4 days later this package comes in the mail to MUM!! Not our names on it, mums name on it.. Mum opens it up and there in the box is that little guy War Dancer. Mum just could not believe her eyes that he belonged to her. Funny thing is that only a very few people even knew mum saw him and liked him so somebody was being sneaky, they did not put their name in it from who sent it. well we finally found out it was Mr. Harry that sent it to mum. Just because!!!! Mum has it in a very special place in the upstairs hall so we can not knock it down and breaks it. If you want to see the work Karen does go here. http://ferretlover97.terrabox.com/HappyHeartsFerret.html The link is also on mum's web page. We has some of our kids on the Christmas giving tree along with many more from other shelters so if you want to help a shelter kid go here http://givingtree.friendsoffuzzies.com/page1.html There are Christmas packages coming from the mailman and UPS man already for us. Miss Deb stopped in last week with our Christmas stuffs, mum has not seen Miss Deb in a long long time. She has 2 of our shelter kids living with her. Miss Deb stayed to have lunch with mum and play with us kids. Thanks for Christmas Miss Deb! We has had some new kids come in! Some really special kids mum will have them on the web site soon. Mum wants to remind everyone that the International Ferret Congress is sponsoring the Symposium April 29 - May 1 2005 so get your reservations in so you do not miss all the fun.

We were pose to have Power kids come to camp, but mum was not home when they got here, she runned a sick kid into Doc on emergency so Miss Vicki took them home again, so this is what happened to get the kids here at camp. Okay now for the coming to camp adventure. Mum was on her way home from Brockport hospital about 10:30 she was about 1/2 way home when she remembers she had the Power kids coming to camp. Great! Mum did not have Miss Vickie's cell phone programmed into her cell so that was out. Mum figures Miss Vicki does not usually get to camp with the kids until noon so she will be home before the kids get there. NOT!! Mum pulls in at 11:45 Miss Vicki and the fur kids were here and now gone. Mum calls Miss Vicki; she says she and Mr. Mike are leaving at 3:30. Mum tells Miss Vicki she will come pick up the fur kids after work at 4:30. Miss Vicki, says I will leave the house key inside a special place for mum to find. So at 4:30; Mickey (mum is baby sitting now for a friend) and mum take off for Hornell. 1 hr away from home, Mum has already been on the road for several hours so she is not real happy about traveling again but for the fur kids she will do it. Mum gets there at 5:30 PM and there is NO KEY!!!!! Mum can not get into the house. So now the fur kids are in there; mum can not get them; their mom and dad are not going to be home till Tuesday! Mum can not call Miss Vicki and Mr Mike until she gets home. Mum gets home at 6:30 PM calls Miss Vicki's cell but has to leave a message. Mum tries again an hour later Miss Vicki answers the cell phone. Mum says no key Miss Vickie! OH NO! Miss Vicki says get in touch with their neighbor they have a key. Mum says can they meet her there in an hour and 1/2? Miss Vicki says let me call you back. Miss Vicki calls right back says that Mr. Michael wants to talk to mum. So Mr. Mike starts to explain how mum can get into his office to get a key that is in a box on the wall next to his desk. Mum has to have a combination to a door to get through and 3 other doors to go through to get to his office, at each door Mum needs to find the light switch. Stacie (Fred's far away mom) bless her heart came with mum, they also had a flash light Thank GOD!. Oh did I mention that Mr. Mike is the Steuben Co coroner? And he is the local funeral director? Are you getting the picture? Mum and Stacie get into the first door; find the second door and the light switch. The hall way they are going to be going down is literally on a decline like a ramp. This is now starting to sink in, Mum and Stacie is going into the room they prepare dead people! Oh this is just fine! LOL Stacie then has to mention to mum it is Halloween weekend isn't this fun? Cute Miss Stacie! They get to the bottom of the hall open the door and sure enough they are right in the work area that the funeral directors use! NO body home! Mum and Stacie have to go through that room to get to the office... Now the smell of formaldehyde is starting to settle into mum's brain. Lights on no body home! ;-) They get to the office find the key box, get the key go to the house (that is next door) get the kids, put them in the van. Now mum and Stacie have to do the process all over again to take the key back. Miss Stacie wants to know if she needs to go with mum! HA real funny Miss Stacie! YES you are going with mum!!!! Mum dropped Stacie off home got the kids settled in and went to bed!!!! How is that for a fun day? Oh yeah mum called Miss Vicki and Mr. Mike from Mike's office.. Mum told Miss Vickie to tell Mr. Mike he forgot to mention where mum was going to end up.. Miss Vicki laughed and said "He told you NO BODY WAS HOME"!! it never connected, not for a single second.. Mum says it is probably a good thing because mum may have opted to leave the kids home. LOL Till next month!
