AND excited about the SOS dinner. So, I thought I'd ask you a few questions. Miss Bibi, this is Sammy using Shadow's email account. He is our most officialist spokesferret and does so very eloquently, I might add. But, because you asked my handsome self (clears throat), I will oblige you with some information. By the way, you may not remember, but we met when my mom and the rest of The Poop-in-the-Corner Gang spent the night with your mom last year. You are quite lovely and I would be most pleased to see you again. Can you please tell me where the dinner will be .. and if Mommy can walk there from the hotel? The dinner is just down the road from the hotel at a beautiful park. We have reserved a lovely spot with room to play before we eat - if you want a romp in the park! What are the humans going to eat? I told Mom that they could have some of my kibble, but she said no. She said something about Loosy Anne cooking. I thought mom was doing that! Do you know this LoosyAnne? I don't think I know her. When is it and what night is it? We are going to go see some of Canada, but have to stay in our room on Thursday because that is the day of the picnic. It is on June 22, the night BEFORE all the ferrety stuff begins. Food will be served from 5 - 8, so people can have a belly food of food for the meet and greet! And, cause some of these people eat only veggies, there will be a lot of food for everyone - and mom said they would have a cake for a king too. All the money goes to help ferrets without homes, right? Can Mommy get a tax donation slip to send to the IRS people when she pays for the dinner? Your mom doesn't have to pay for the dinner. Some people already did and this is their gift to everyone. BUT, if your mom will make a donation to those poor ferrets, she can get a tax break. SOS always helps with this. Any hooman who wants a paper slip can get one when they donate to the ferrets. In fact, a nice lady from MaFF will be there to be sure they do. Love and kisses, Bibi Ferret Miss Bibi, I will give you lots of kisses when I see you. If you have anymore questions, you just ask and I will answer them all. Most affectionately (learned about the dictionary from Saraferret's posts), The lovingest boy, Sammy http://www.ferretemergency.org [Posted in FML issue 5266]
