Isn't April Easter bunny month? Does that mean I get Easter goodies? I think I need Easter goodies... hey out there you can send me Easter goodies if you wish! I am going to start the news, we had the ferret club meeting here again; our house was full full full all day. 7 club members showed up, and then 2 families with 2 legged furless kids showed up. That means we had 3 more adults and a total of 5 - 2 legged furless kids in out house... wow it was a very hectic day but miss Donna D. kept the shelter going, while miss Stephanie and miss Kristie did the education with the new families so miss Donna z. and mum could be out in the store going over what miss Donna z. is putting in her store for us shelter kids. I laid in Miss Cathy d. arms and just soaked up some loving and information, you know like that Ernie kid keeps telling me to do? . Miss Cathy d is good at loving me and there was Lots and lots of information flying around that room that day. . Thanks Miss Cathy for holding me for a very long time. after all the "new to the shelter" people left all the club members made a human chain to get the plywood that Mr. Scott z cut for mum last moth, out of the garage and up in the living room for the first half of the floor to get nailed down. Once that got done mum could start sticking the tile. Down on it. mum is getting excited to have a new floor we kids can not mess up like we did the carpet. Little Irene thought she was going to help mum so she walked though some of the wet sticky glue mum had put down. Mum had to kick her out of the room because Irene would not stop doing that. Once we got all the plywood in the house we all had lunch. Mum made everyone stew. Hey chump are you going to jump in here some time during this news? Ernie here: I don't think so miss possum I am not feeling so well so if you do not mind I would like to pass on doing my part of the news, this time around. Possum here: Oh what ever,! Mum makes me take on a cub reporter and now you don't want to do it! Fine I will do it all myself. Mum had to run Ivory into our favorite doc. He was berry berry sick. Mum thought it was his heart. Our favorite doc looked inside of him with pictures. He was full of lumps and bumps. Mum called them tumors. Our favorite doc put him on medicine, but that did not help for long he died last Saturday. Oh yeah, Juliet and Feisty went to live with Donna Z Mum got a big big box from the Baker bunch! there was lots of food that mum can eat and valentines goodies.. Mum found this adorable stuffed kitty that talks and wags his tale. His name is Leonardo. Mum just hugged and hugged him when he got here; she even took him on that big yellow thingy to show all the 2 legged furless kids that ride on it. Thanks for making mum happy baker bunch!

Luke here: I will help you with the news miss possum. I can help real fine. Watch this; Mum was involved in an accident on her big yellow thingy. By the way possum it is called a school bus. Mum is fine; she only had 5 kids left on the bus when she was hit from behind by a pickup truck. Mum stopped; the pickup truck didn't. Once a school bus is involved in an accident the entire top brass show up on the road, along with all the ambulance, fire trucks and state troopers. All mum's kids were checked out and taken home. Mum's bus was driven home by the mechanic. Then mum was followed home by the big big boss. Mum had to drive the little bus the mechanic drove out to her. She had to go get drug tested so she got home to take care of us very late; Way past out meds time. Mum got us cought up fast once she got home. Miss Cathy R was kind enough to bring mum's Lucy home from our favorite doc's. She got her wings. See Possum I can help do the news this month for you. Possum here: Oh goody! Way to go mum.
