HI Friends Blossom here, I am growing to be a BIG girl yessirree! We have some good , good, good news today. Hmm how's that Jerimiah? "Okay Blossom so lets get to the news what do you think?" Well, we gots some news from Dr Sandra about our Hop A Long kid "Ted" and she says, All is well here. It looks like Ted is behaving so well that I might be able to recheck his films without sedation -- so I am hoping to do that 1 week from today........and only sedate him if the bones are misaligned again and need more work. He is eating kibble better - I am starting to sneak some healthy stuff in, too (he hasn't yet been fooled, though)...........but is at least eating well enough to be self-sustaining now. Maybe by next week I can enlarge his cage some! " Hooey! Great news there I think, and then Lucky has come through his surgery really fine!!!!! Mom talked to hospice Mom Judy this mornin' she has his recovery cage all clean & set up. Dr George found out the poor ol' Lucky had a ruptured spleen a LONG time ago- likely before the police rescue which brought him to Ferret Wise. He had adhesions all inside him that Dr George removed best he could. This Am Lucky was eating turkey babyfood in anticipation of being held and coddled by hospice Mom Judy. See!!! and Shelter Mom has ben able to keep Biscuits skin problem under control using some good ol' fashioned natural stuff. The tests fungal culture & scratch tests have not been reported but Mom used Nolvasan scrub and calendula gel every day and the bright red swollen tummy is looking better & better. Good job Mom, that ought to hold her until Dr Winnie gets back next week.! The Tech is coming up tomorrow on Sat AM to give the melatonin's to Nestle & elder kids, and I am looking forward to meeting the volunteers who come for workday... so WHO is coming to meet me? Huh? I here there is a lots of noise about making a nice cage for the ferrets from the flood. I bet they have a neat story to tell. Mom will fill us in later i 'spect! And then there is some kind of buzzing about lots of folks coming in tomorrow to work at the shelter.. Well I hope they don't mess things up we all have a system here. Jerimiah, what do we do if the messes things up? "Blossom my girl you just ask those boys Austin 'specially, he will tell and show you how tro get revenge on a clean up. I 'spect he will climb the fireplace and toss stuff over for you all to drag around. You can re arrange anyway you want if they mess things up. And look for th cheerio box that is always fun to play with!" Our shelter Mom has some stuffs on ebay to help with the luprons, melationins and for Blossoms sake lets NOT forget some n - bones okay mom?
