Hi Friends! It's me your ol' buddy Jerimiah at Ferret Wise. Lots is going on as usual but I just had to tell you all about the latest & greatest things happening. First of all i HAVE to say "Way to go Harry!" This senior shelter kid sure did put in some quality time this past weekend-- He his friend Austin and Sneakers ( who does not live at the shelter) all traveled with shelter folks to the Boston Children's Museum for "Critter Day". Well the Mom said that it was a SUPER day. Poor Harry had been petted, greeted and visited in the first hour all he wanted to do was sleep - but Mom only let him get a short nap in before coming out again. Hundreds of children met ferrets that day and as many adults stopped to see, ask questions and take some paperwork. The scheduled time was 12 noon to 3 PM but at 3:15 they were still visiting with interested folks young and old. The nice folks at the Boston Childrens Museum have invited the shelter folks back again next Fall! WoooHoo! It was no surprise that on the drive back the guys slept very soundly. First of all Mom Wants to thank Meredith Harper & Sneakers, the ferret who owns her for joining the shelter folks and helping to spread good news about ferrets! This was and awesome day! Hooray maybe next time I will get to go- I promise I will behave! They are getting back to be the same old guys but it took a tad out of them-- of course that was fine with me while they slept I ate their share of treats! :) Well I guess we may get a little busier yet- Mom says there is 2 new kids headed in- as soon as their Martins New Englander gets here- these two dark sable gals are not babies- they are 8 & 10 mos old and have lived all that time in a petshop-- and they BITE! Now I know what that is all about! They needed a place to go bad so here is where they will be real real soon! To help pay for their travel and townhouse Mom has lots of goodies up on ebay- they will need ADV testing and vaccinations etc so I hope you find something worth buying!
