HI folks! It's Me Jerimiah, the handsomest boy at Ferret Wise! Well I bet you think you heard a lot form me lately -- well now IT'S RAINING FERRETS! Believe ME! On sucha rainy cool day shelter Dad travelled out and came back with 2 MORE TINY kids! These tow were born Jan 2nd and there is a boy and a gal. The Drk Sable boy looks almost like Merlin is called Bouncer and the little deaf gal is a silver blaze and her name is Stripe but I BET Mom will change that! They hit it off GREAT with Merlin- they are running so fast that I am getting DIzzy! Albus and Austin are kinda besides themselves right now. They can now curl up and sleep while the babies tear the place apart! I guess the Video folks will have to move the cameras extra fast when they come next week. Mom says these little kids are too skinny but I bet the get fattened up real quick! Our hospice boy Lucky age 7.5 years over at St Gregory's house is in need of surgery- he has been waiting for some time with the emergencies going first.Hospice Mom Judy just spent over $3,000.00 on her personal pets care and can't help out right now. Lucky has developed a HUGE spleen that needs to come out. Dr George checked him out in February and put him on antibiotics but the spleen did not go down. He is having a hard time now walking and being comfortable so we need to raise the funds to pay for his veterinary care ASAP.
