Kaleb and Mason and i got snottie and asked why and they told me that I had 2 children locked in a cage for time out and i said yes they are in time out when they get into trouble infact the same 2 kids were in time out this morn already for fighting with Faroke and Maxwell so i had all 4 in sepreate cages and the lady said where i told her in their bedroom i had to sit on my couch while the lady and the officer went to the room i pointed out to them i said you have to climb over the gate cause i dont allow the kids out of their room while im cleaning the house and the d.h.s. lady gave me a real dirly look and went. and i started to grin about what i said. of course when she went in she said Ms Hayes where are the children and i said your looking at them. she said DO WHAT and i said Kaleb and Mason are ferrets they are my kids I call them my kids she of course looked stupit at me asking me if i had children and i said yes 1 is at work 1 is in Bagdad and the younest is in school. by the time i got into the room with the ferrets the officer asked me why i had so many ferrets i said they are mine but that I also run a ferret shelter. he said they were cute and that he always wanted one as a kid and i told him i had for 4 up for adoption if he wanted to adopt one in the mean time the lady never spke a word and said she was ready to leave with the officer and as they were leaving she made a remark and told me people shouldnt name their pets human names and i said well people shouldnt be evesdropping on peoples conversations wish i knew who made the complint and where i was at when the land lord and I was at the pool talking here at the apts. so anyways here at at shelter I have 8 personal ferrets, 4 ferrets waiting to be adopted, 5 hospice ferrets, 4 ferrets here in boarding, 1 thats half mine and the vet dr ferret. and 9 rainbowbridge kids wish i miss so much encluding my little Bandit..
