Hi Everybody! Blossom here! Yippeee! It is getting pretty exciting here. I have to thanks my pen pal Doodle! She asked her Mom Dorothy to send me some N-bones so I would not steal them anymore from the other kids. Well, it has been hard BUT I finally learned to take my own n-bones! Of course it took a lot of try's to get it right... and I got to eat every one of them! Now I am learning to take my own more each day! Old Biscuit is picking up a little Momma brings her soup several times each day and doesn't let me know.. so Biscuit is starting to look a tad better for an old gal. Our next door ferret Nestle seems to be picking up too, Momma is not sure which of the treatments has helped but all his puffy butt is gone and she is now maintaining him on special B vitamins with some hope that he will indeed get to welcome in the new year! AND just when things were starting to seem comfy there is more ruckus going on! Momma has a new face getting ready to arrive. Seems a poor young chap was very misunderstood in a NY pet shop. He is 8.5 mos. old and is very fearful of hands and needs lots of special care. So MANY Thanks to all of you who have helped so far with our Jerimiah's Blessing appeal... you are helping this guy right into Ferret Wise where our Mom will work with him until he can accept human folks again and learns to be a happy ferret. Shelter Dad will be driving & Mom will be going to on Saturday to pick this kid up and bring him home. I am looking forward to meeting him -- but Momma says I HAVE to be nice- I CAN't boss him around UNTIL he is feeling better. Humph! The folks here will be holding a Ferret Education day SUNDAY DEC 10 at Petco Keene.... 10AM - 2PM after that is the shelter friends Holiday Meetup .... I hope Momma brings us back surprises... come to think of it all the kids told me she would be bringing in the smelly branches and I haven't seen them yet ....What gives? The folks found a few more treasures in the store room getting an early jump on Spring cleaning- they thought some folks might be happy to see this if they were shopping for holidays there are: Scoozies ( the very LASt of them) , a Neat FUNHOUSE tent, some of our new Tunnel blankets, Holiday Ornaments , sleepers and LOTS more on ebay.
