October 2005 News Master Largo's News Reporter Andy Cub-reporter Ziggy Andy here: Ziggy, did you see what mum is doing on our web site? Ziggy here: No Andy, what is mum doing on our web site? Andy here: Mum has a picture of a DOG on our site, sitting in one of the cozy's Aunt Ret makes for us to sleep in. Can you believe mum would put a picture of a dog on there, what is she thinking? Ziggy here: Andy! If you had any kind of brain at all, you would know that mum has an iguana on the site too! That is because mum sells stuffs for other animals, not just for us ferrets. Why do you think mum's store is called "NOT JUST FOR FERRETS"? DUH; how long have you been here? Mum's store has been open for almost 10 years; she sells stuff for all animals so of coarse she is going to have pictures of other animals on the site. Anyway the dog, as you call him, is Shadow one of the pups of our shelter friend we have way on the west coast in wa. So stop being jealous. did you forget you promised you would not complain? This is real close to a complaint you know. Take a look at all the nice letters we got about our news last month because you did not complain. Thanks for the update Ziggy and Andy. Congratulations on the no complaints Andy! Hugs and kisses to all you fuzzy babies at the shelter and give your mum loves for me for helping you guys. Angie Great news you two tell, I really miss you guys. Andy I am proud of you, not one complaint, very impressive! Ziggy my sweet baby girl you have to be nicer to Andy. Not too much gloating OK? Love & big hugz & kisses, Aunt DJ Andy here: Okay time to tell the news, it was our Aunt DJ's birthday, Happy Birthday!!! We love you! Mum is back to work doing the big yellow thing; she does old lady Kay still too. Ivory had his surgery, he was picked up and brought home his blue strings are gone he is all better now. You know all them cans mum had to take back? Well the wagon train happened, 40 bags, Mr Dale, Miss Donna, Miss Cathy, Miss Jill, Mr. Mike and Miss Nichole all helped mum take cans back on 8-21-05 there were 8,915 cans. Wow that is a lot of cans. Thanks you guys for helpen mum do that. Miss Cathy camed to help mum close the pool, what I want to know is why we don't get to use the pool, mum don't take us out to play in the pool. Why is that Ziggy? Ziggy here: Andy you are getting soo close to complaining!! Mum don't take us to her pool because it is too deep for us and has chemicals in it, we have our own pool remember? The one with all the jingle balls in it just for us to play in? Are you hearing me Andy? Now do the news! Please! Andy here: Okay okay I was just asking a question! Geeeszzz, okay that's right now I remember our pool in on the porch. Let's see that Charity kid that camed in from Canandaigua lost? Her human found out she was here, they thought she was a boy. So did the vet say she was a boy. (Not our Favorite Doc, her vet) Wonder where that vet went to school. Even I know the difference... Don't I Ziggy? you are a GIRL I am a BOY! Any way Charity AKA Ivan went home with her family. We had some new campers here at camp; the Talledo girls, mum kept saying to them you should still be with your mom not at ferret camp. But there are humans working on getting the age of fur kids changed in the laws so they are not so tiny and young when they are taken away from their moms. Mum helped, she wrote a letter to the USDA. If you want to help change the laws, let mum know she will give you the address and how to do it. The Talledo girls were wonderful and happy playing at camp. Miss Breezie she was Master Largo's bestest girl, she was at camp for the fist time too. They all had fun, mum got pictures of them playing at camp ( not together) mum don't mix us fur kids. Mum has been really really busy getting shelters lined up so when the Katrina fur refugees come out of that mess, they have a place to go, mum has been glued to the computer chair doing that for a long time now.. She just needs to send the pictures to Mr. Harry and he will get them up on the camp web shots site for her so you can all see the campers that come here. The official date of FML 5000 campaign is over but we are still getting donations. So many people said thanks to Mr. BIG by sending donations in; the total (not all counted yet) the last time mum looked was $8033.50; you guys sure do preciate that Mr. Big! Way to go humans owned by fur kids. Way to go Mr. BIG for making the FML such a reliable source of information. Ziggy here: Andy I want a turn and we need to leave room for mum to say something this time too! Andy here: Okay okay so tell some news! Ziggy here: Miss Sue and Mr Neil camed to N.Y. to visit with mum, see the sights around the area. They brought our cousins with them, so mum took care of them when they was out sight seeing. It was so good to see them again; mum got to meet them in Mo. at the Zoo. Oh Oh did you see the design Sue did for the Katrina disaster? Wow she is so so good... only one to be had so if you want it you better bid on it before it is gone. All the money that it brings in is going to E.L.F. here go take a look. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7183664517 That Weasie girl that came in starving is doing great, she is fat and sassy now. She don't know how to play though so mum is trying to teach how to be a ferret. Okay now for some sad sad news. Our mum's mom our grandma, went to Rainbow Bridge. She just left in a hurry and no one knows why. Miss Donna camed to help mom keep up with us kids while she was in and out doing family funeral things, Mr. Harry was helping to keep people informed on what was going on and answering questions if they could not wait for mum, Miss Stacie, Fred's far away mom camed in to give us kids soup the night mum was going to be gone a long long time. She made sure everything was okay. Then the most wonderful thing happened Mum saw Miss Donna at the church where our grandma's service was being held, people from Naples came too, and there were beautiful flowers from the IFC Up in the front of the church. Mum says she is so blessed with such wonderful friends. Now mum wants to say some stuff. Mum here: I just want to say thank you for all the wonderful cards, emails, flowers, checking in on me, thoughts and prayers. How or why I am so blessed with such wonderful friends I am not sure, but I can not tell you how much all this means to me. You are all wonderful caring people; I am so very blessed and honored to have you all touch my life. Thank you!
