HI Friends!!!! Well for sure it is me! Your favorite chocolate spotted boy at Ferret Wise. Well wouldn't you know things just keep on hopping here at the shelter! I have to commend my Buddy Austin Ferret WIse - originally I thought him too much a sissy to be a real ferret guy-- BUT now I see he has learned how to scale the shelter and get on top of the brick fireplace mantel. He knocked the angel kids urns to the floor and the shelter license and even the wrapped cheerios box mom placed for decoration. What a time! I was cheering him on you BET! Then he danced all over the shelter license and made footy prints. Momma sure was not happy- she had taken the glass out just in case - now the inspector will see the potential of us kids ;) We have seen Raz Ma Taz and Casper leave to go to a permanent foster home. They have a new Dad & Mom that will take great care of them. Mom checks by from time to time so we will hear all about their antics in their new home. We have a new kid who has been trying to get here- Shelter Mom was going to pick him up today ( Friday)_ but we got a HUGE snoestorm.... then Dad said he would go but after they got a foot of snow by noon Dad said it would take at least 4 hours to make the t65 mile trip one way-- so they told the shelter folks the new kid needs to stay overnight. BUT TOMORROW- we all get to check him out! Yahoo! Now I am fine with new kids but Nestle here he has ni use for any other feret but me. I sure hope tht the new kid gets along well tomorrow ... Mom said she will bring in the tubs of snow after he arrives so everyone can party! The best news Mom said is that she got to speak to the new shelter manager at the local humane society. After the first of the year she will be able to do training classes on ferrets fr their workers. They were very pleased to hear this. The KEENE FERRET MEETUP is tomorrow Saturday Dec 10th at 3 PM in the Colony MIll Food court, 222 West St., Keene NH. Mom & Dad hope to see a bunch of ferret friends there. They will have Holiday Ferret items as door prizes for Holiday Cheer! The roads should be plenty clear for travelling!
