Wow! That great Ferret Oracle really is great!!! She's amazing! How did she know I have a birthday coming up???? And it's not just any birthday - it's the big - '5-0' !!!!!! I am amazed at the telepathic range of the great Robed One! Normally, I am very quiet about my birthday - it's not something I usually celebrate - but this is the big one and I think I'll throw myself a big PARTY!! I haven't had a party since I was 6 years old!! So...it's time to celebrate and everyone on the FML is invited! The big day isn't until the first part of March - so that gives us plenty of time to make plans. My mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told her she could make a donation to SOS in my name! She said...'Oh, Judy.' She always says, 'Oh, Judy,' when she thinks I'm being silly! Anyone else have a mom like that? I said..."Mom, I'm not kidding! This is a very busy time of year for Shelters - all the impulse-buy Christmas ferrets are starting to hit the shelters. I already know of several in need and SOS funds are stretched right now! SOS needs money! So...if you want to do something special for me - something that would mean something to me - donate to SOS in my name!" She just looked at me....she didn't say 'Oh, Judy', but I could hear her thinking it! I'm going to tell my sisters and friends the same thing! If you want to help me celebrate my birthday, please donate a dollar to SOS! Just a dollar! That would be the best present I could ever possibly get! My goal is to raise $50.00. Anyone out there want to help me celebrate the big day???? Judy Cooke Co-Director IFC Support Our Shelters [Posted in FML issue 5128]
