The Guardian of Hope does not take sides. She is for all ferrets everywhere - those in loving homes and those in caring shelters. She sincerely HOPES that both sides of the 'snack issue' will stop and realize they are all working toward the same goal - better food for our ferrets. No one way is right and no one way is wrong and we all must work together - perhaps in different ways, to make changes. Hope thanks everyone for their efforts. Hope I am the Guardian of Hope. If you know a ferret in need and prayers or good wishes will help ease the pain, please let us know. Send us a note with the information and we will send our very best prayers or good thoughts in Hopes that the warm power of love will surround and comfort the precious little one - and the hoomans who loves them.
