::Stormy looks at the FML and then glances over at his mom who is feverishly working over a calculator and under her breath mumbling something about April 15th. Stormy knows by day that his mom is a mild mannered bookkeeper after all that is what keeps him in cheweasels and the life of luxury to which he has become accustomed. Stormy realizes his mom could use some help and decides it is time to come off the long Winter Cheweasel break that he has been taking and get back to work as a Spokesferret:: Stormy here with some reminders for the humans who support the shelters listed with Support Our Shelters (SOS) and for the shelters too. SOS has arranged with Melatek (http://www.melatek.net) to offer discount Melatonin Implants to the shelters listed with SOS. If you would like to order implants as a donation for your local shelter or a shelter you support you can now order through SOS and have them shipped to the shelter. Just email my human at: [log in to unmask] for all the info. Also Stormy wants to remind all of you about the Shelter Bucks that the Ferret Store is offering. That is a great way to help shelters with supplies and food. Their bucks program lets you buy a card for the shelter at a discounted price. For ordering info just visit: http://www.ferretstore.com/shelterbucks.html If you are a shelter you should be receiving shelter email from my human. She has been looking high and low for discounts and programs to help shelters help shelter ferrets. If you are not getting those emails or aren't signed up with the SOS shelter list and would like to please email. While I am here doing my Spokesferret job I need to ask if any of you shelters or ferrety businesses would be interested in donating to the International Ferret Congress for their Louisville Forum April 22nd and 23rd. Items are needed for raffles for the ELF program (Emergency Love Fund) which helps shelters in ways that SOS can not. SOS helps shelter ferrets while the IFC can help the shelter itself. Please email if you would like to exchange donations for a program ad in the event program. Stormy says thank for helping shelters and shelter ferrets.
