i heard through the ferret grape vine that CJ has taken some "slack" for choosing to close her doors and finally take some time to herslef and have a life of her own. i normally don't get involved in FML issues and really try to keep things to myself by really felt i had to speak up on this one. As a fellow shelter mum, i have to say "you go girl!" it takes a LOT of guts to walk away from something you are SO very passionate about, something you truly love and something you have said you can't imagine not doing for the rest of your life. All of tthose things CJ has said. It's scary walking away. She is probably second guessing every single step. She does not need any of you doing it for her. CJ has done a LOT for the ferrets and not just in NV and CA. She has done for them all over and including in Ontario too. She has sent things to help my shelter when she could or asked people to send things when she couldn't. CJ deserves a life of her own and i for one am green with envy that she taking it :) all i have to say about it is "you go girl!!!" you deserve it more than most. Take it easy, be happy and know that i am proud of you and grateful for all you have done. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. While i am sad to see you go, i am thankful for what you have contributed. Love ya!!
