Shelter moms are such special people and when they hurt, Hope hurts. Miss Randy is such a warm, wonderful, caring and giving person. She has done so much for so many. To see her - again, not being able to care for one of her charges in the manner in which she thinks he should be cared for, because of money, is a terrible, terrible thing. All Hope can do is request that we all send Miss Randy and Rufus warm prayers and healing thoughts. Please surround them with the light of love and comfort in Hopes that Rufus pulls through this. And send continued strength to Randy so she may continue to do what she does. Hope I am the Guardian of Hope. If you know a ferret in need and prayers or good wishes will help ease the pain, please let us know. Send us a note with the information and we will send our very best prayers or good thoughts in Hopes that the warm power of love will surround and comfort the precious little one - and the hoomans who loves them.
