HI friends- Blossom here! Well- even though Mom & Dad did a weeks of red cross volunteer work this week and even gave away some of their own blood, we are still happy and healthy for the most part. Momma has a new stripe on the end of her news thanks to the new gal LizBeth. See the PET STore folks knew the right place for her! They (Mom and LizBeth) had a vet day on Friday morning so LizBeth could get her blood test then she, Dapper & Sketch got their rabies shot. Mom had to hold LizBeth a long time and she got upset with the needle things so when Mom was talking to her she gave mom a racing stripe right down the front of her nose. Mom was really good about it and just laughed. The vet put compresses on the nose and even a band aid so it would not drip much. Anyway LizBeth is a tad stressed since arriving here - she has no clue what to do with LONG playtimes so they is helping her stools get better. She is plenty active otherwise - except when she climbs to the top of the cage and cannot get down. The best news yet- Teddy is doing better on his fixed leg- it is not perfect but he is getting around lots better. The even bestest thing is Dr Sandra and her Mom have become so attached that Teddie HAS TO STAY! YAY Teddie. You have a great support team there. All that love, and catering to your picky diet that a boy! The newsletter is back form printing and Mom and Andrea plan to get it all into envelopes and mailed by Tuesday AM. They are sure hard workers! We got extra treats while Mom was away last week and while she was doing her extra volunteer work this week and we are them all up so Momma has to call the Ferret Store folks in the morning - I hope they get our n bones here FAST! Good nights are just not the same without them. Shelter Dad just doesn't get how important they are we were so happy when Mom came back! We have some special things on ebay to help pay vet bills and air conditioning!.
