I must tell everyone of the wonderful Angels that came to my shelter last weekend.For a cage cleaning party. I'd had a surgery just almost 2 weeks before they were able to come down here from Ga & Fl.My own local volunteers never showed up.But we had so much fun,we didn't miss them.Says alot,huh? These 4 ladies who help Julianna were kind enough to come help me.They came in & cleaned cages,clipped all nails,cleaned ears,did ear mite treatments( I do it monthly),changes out beddings & we still laughed all the time. Margaret took over the task of clipping all the nails(40) & she had help of Chrissy with the ears,Karen & Susanne did the rooms.Florence oversaw everything. LOL !! But I have to tell this,Susanne has the skin that ferrets who never bite just have to sample out.Sweakers bite her good & left bruises.But then as she's hanging fresh hammies in a cage,Zues,who never bites,decides she has tasty skin & latches onto her calf. Now, Susanne never flinched,just said "Ouch" & looked around to see who could get the teeth from her leg.Karen with her shy wisdom.Very quite lady.Very loving.Alot of the kids likes her. We(Jimmy & Margaret) were able to build a table of sorts to get the cages up off the floor which makes for easy cleaning.And more play room.I was even told I had a nice set up for the kids. And my sweet friend,Phyliss was able to come up.Haven't seen her in 2 years.And then she drops a pet taxi on Florences head !!! Alot of laughter & freindships were made that weekend. To all you ladies,you'll never know just how much I love each one of you,or how very Blessed I feel by your help.Awesome.
