Andy Here: Yup yup yup and if you do not want to, that is just fine by me! I can do this news all by myself!! Possum Here: Sigh, boo hoo. You don't want me to help with the news? I want to, I am just asking,. I thought you were going to teach me how. How am I going to learn if I don'ts ask questions? Andy Here: Okay! I get it... Now before you get me in trouble with mum and possibly that Ziggy girl up on Rainbow Bridge quit your sulking. You Brat! Let's get going with the news, I get to start I am the senior reporter. Mum says dumping season has started, she has had 4 families, and 10 ferrets that humans wanted to bring to mum. Mum is helping them find a home without coming here. 2 of the ferrets in Webster got to go live with Christina and Ben in Greece this weekend. Christina and Ben has been coming to our shelter to learn about us ferrets so when this human called mum to take her ferrets, mum asked Ben and Christina if they wanted to take them in. They did; so our 2 new cousins are now living in Greece New York. Thanks Ben and Christina for helpen mum out! The one human that has 5 fur kids that needed a new 4-ever home, lives in NYC so mum put her in touch with some humans down her way. The other 3, the humans did not want to respond to mum, after mum told them what they needed to do to surrender their ferrets so we don't know what has happened to them. Mum is sad but tells us all the time she can not save the world, even though she tries sometimes. Possum Here: My turn!!!! Mum had a 10 day vacation from the big yellow thingy she drives,; so she spended time with us at home. One day though she was going to Canandaigua to get her hairs fixed and our van broked. It made a big bang! The fix it man said It was the transmission and it was all broken in pieces. So mum's van has been in the fix it place since April 17th. Monty man needed meds and mum could not get to Brockport to get them, so Miss Becky went to our favorite doc's to get him some for us. Thanks miss Becky. Mum got lots of people that said they would help so thanks everyone for the offer! Miss Cathy came to help mum on Good Friday, she mixed up lots and lots of food for us. Thanks miss Cathy. Miss Cathy brought Nicky and Billy with Jack to see mum. Nicky and Billy came from here. Then Miss Donna camed to help mum too one day, Miss Donna plays with us and laughs lots when she is here. We like to hear her laugh. The week mum had off mum did some painting. Fred's far away mom came to help mum put up a new barrier between the library and the ferret room. Taz learned how to knock the old one down, so now the new one is not going anywhere, only our Taz can still get over it! L Mum says she is ready to give up on that boy! Mum has been painting that, and some walls in the play room. The Talledo girls have been here for 2 weeks at camp they are home now. Thiel kids are here now. Mum is excited to see Mina and Ollie again, they camed from here, and now there are 2 more Thiel kids. The 2 new fur kids are Katrina kids, famous cause Miss Susan saved them from certain death! So mum is going to get to take care of Cocoa and Josie too now.. Oh oh, I gots mail last month telling me that more than my mum eats that bird food "puffed millet". Miss Ronnie eats it too! Miss Ronnie do you chirp like mum does? Phew at least I now know that mum is not going to turn into a bird even if she does chip now and then. Andy Here: Okay possum my turn. Well mum has her E.I.N. number she is one step closer to getting her 501(c) 3 status. It is lots of work and really really hard but mum says she will keep working at it. Don't forget June 3, is just around the corner! Clinic day; so if you want to come let mum know to send you a registration form. YOU NEED to fill out a form so our favorite Doc and Aunt Mary knows how much stuffs to bring for us fur kids, you know them hurt sticks and all? Mum says she put a request in her God Box that it not be as hot as it was last year. REGISTRATION FORM MUST BE RETURNED NO LATER THAN May 27, 2006. No phone registrations will be accepted. Possum: Okay it is my turn to say some stuff again Andy. If you guys want to save us cans and bottles mum says that is okay because the golf coarse is not going to let us have them again this summer! So NO more cans coming every day to help with our favorite doc's bill. Also does anyone out there have any ball budgies? We need ball budgies for our canopy for our play yard, if you do and we can use them, will you let our mum know, other wise mum will have to buy some someplace. We has to have the canopy up because the hawks like to watch us play out in our play yard, so this way we can stay a little bit hided. Mum watches the sky to make sure they are not watching us too close. Andy Here: Holy weasel war dance!!! We have a bathroom sink that mum can use again! Mr. John; Kristie's husband is a water pipe fix it man, he camed and fixed mum's bathroom sink and showed mum how to replace the the RO filters! Now we have water in the upstairs sink again!!! Mum has been messing with that drain for months, then Miss Kristie tried to help mum to fix it last weekend, Nope! Nope! Nope! Even 2 of them could not fix it. So Miss Kristie tolds Mr. John and he had it fixed in minutes. Mum says it is nice to have a 2 legged furless men around the house as long as they belongs to someone else and goes home. Thank you Mr. John for fixing mums sink, thank you Miss Kristie for telling Mr. John about the sink. We have some very very important information. The town of Naples has decided that mum has had the wrong number on our house for 14 years so now we have a new number so please change the physical address number to 7835 same road just a new number. We still have the PO Box so please use that if you are mailing things to us. Are road is still closed but you can get to us just going by the road closed sign. Okay we need to go. The clinic will be here BEFORE the next news letter so please if you are coming let mum know.
