Hi Friends, Well here I am your chocolate spotted buddy at Ferret Wise. Well, Mom returned and you can bet we survived all right in her absence to help teach folks more about ferrets. Even though shelter Dad has been pretty busy with human matters we have been doing fine. I really love the ferrety perfume wafting through our residence-- even IF Mom is concerned. I will enjoy it immensely for now-- BUT Mom warns the fun and ferrtness of the room will fade away in the future. She has been bundling up the rugs to take into town to launder- I hope to get some shelter trashing in while she is gone! Meanwhile she has let us know that she is working hard to raise funds for a new washer. Today the folks at iGive let her know that through the generosity of Holiday shoppers ( Dec 2004) we will be receiving a check for $145. THAT SHE SAYS will go towards replacing the Ferret Wise washing machine. OH NO! She wants to thank all the folks who thought of us while shopping at iGive-- I sure hope those washers cost a LOT! I need more time to ferretize! Jerimiah, mascot & Alicia D, shelter Mom for www.ferretwise.org a 501c3 charity.
