HI folks! It is ME Jerimiah, your favorite big DEW boy with a chocolate side on his side. Well lately folks say it looks like it is fading-- I think it is still grand! Anyway per usual the folks here have been very very busy! Lots & lots of folks have asked about adopting Napolean & Scrappy-- BUT they is still here- not a one could show that the landlord would allow ferrets. Is there anyone who would love to give them a home where they could stay forever? Meanwhile they are going to get to go meet folks at Boston Children's Museum tomorrow SATURDAY- so if you are in the area go meet the kids that need a new home! Maybe for the holidays they will get an happy home! I hope so - more goodies for me LOL! Shelter Mom and 2 helpers Donna Spirito & Andrea Rose ran a bake sale at Petco FOR THE SHELTER LAST WEEKEND and THEY EARNED $51 FOR THE SHELTER FUND! YIPPEE! i CAN SEE THOSE HOLIDAY STOCKINGS FILLING UP! The Holiday Keene Ferret Meetup is scheduled for Saturday Dec 10th at 3PM for more info hop over to : http://ferret.meetup.com/196/events/ there is no charge to attend everyone is welcome RSVP is very helpful so everyone has a place to sit!Watch your postal mailbox for the annual appeal letter- there is so many envelopes around here and they would not let me lick a one of them :( Well we had visitors the other day here at the shelter some kids form the High School Interact program had lots of questions -- Momma invited them to attend the holiday meeting too so they could meet more folks who had ferrets.! Well we done it -- I helped out too! We mailed in our BIG ENVELOPE to the APHIS/USDA folks momma sent along several pics of too young ferrets that arrived at the shelter to those important folks- she also sent along a packet to show them why the NH law makers felt an age minimum was in order. We sure hope this will help! I hope you all wrote in too so that the shelters won't have so many sick little ones to deal with-- it is hard on the tiny kids too! We have some neat items available on ebay including a special artsy ferret pottery mug by Robert Desbiens you won't want to miss! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7367132215 and there is even a ferrety holiday wreath http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5637499891 and the best part is the bids will help keep all of us warm & toasty this winter-- bid high and Momma may just toss a special gift tin the box too! Hope you all have a safe & Happy Turkey day. Momma brings us some of the bird and it sure is good! Hugs and tasty licks! Jerimiah, mascot www.ferretwise.org [Posted in FML issue 5066]
