May 2007 News Possum NEW Senior Reporter Ziggy Reporter of a higher order Andy watching from Rainbow Bridge Possum here: so mum; just cause I told you I did not want a cub reporter does not mean you had to send Ernie away. Mum Here: Possum, I did not send Ernie away, Ernie got very very sick, do you remember him telling you he did not feel good last month? Well he went to Rainbow Bridge on 04-17-07 with your Andy pants, Ziggy, Mr. Bones and Master Largo. Possum here: No mum! I did not want him to go away like that! That means he is not ever going to come back to help me with the news!!! That is not what I wanted mum! Mum Here: I know Possum that is why I am constantly telling you to be nice, because one day the one you are not nice to, will not be here to say you are sorry to. So now get on with the news, we will see if we will need a cub reporter this month. Possum Here: I need to make a correction for last months news, Miss Anna A. was helping to educate the new people too when we had that house full, sorry miss Anna for forgetting you. Miss Nichole was here that same day helping to move us kids from one play room to another, while mum was busy, Miss Nichole sorry I missed you too. Miss Mary, Miss Joy came to visit their far away kids and brought us new stuffs, things for mum too. Cathy R. met mum in Lima to take the Ernie kid to our favorite Doc, I guess he was really really sick. Miss Donna D. brought him home so mum could keep him comfortable. Winkin Blinkin and Nodd were here for camp, they was here a long time, mum sure did have fun taking care of them. Miss Donna D. kept the shelter up while mum was busy with the three girls, their mom and dad the day they dropped them off. Phew we sure are lucky to have sooo many great shelter friends to help our mum. Thanks Miss Donna D. We like it when you come cause you plays with us and laughs and laughs at what we do. Miss Cathy R took Kalie, Peanut, and Louie up to see our favorite doc, they all needed surgery. Miss Stephanie, Mr. Tom met mum in Avon to deliver them back to mum on Friday. Miss Cathy D and Miss Stacie came over to help mum get more of the living room done, they painted, moved furniture and mum glued more floor. Oh oh Miss Tinker got herself into some trouble, almost REAL trouble! Take a look at this; You know how mum has been getting the new living room floor down? 1/2 of the living room is covered in new sub floor and some new tile. Mum is slowly getting it glued down. The other 1/2 of the room is still covered in carpet until mum can move all the stuff from that side of the room to the finished side. Anyway mum was answering email one morning before work, Tinker was up in the living room with mum running around and chasing mum's feet, she knows better too!!! After a while mum heard this scratching sound on carpet, she did not think too much of it at first, then all of a sudden it hit her that she should go see what Tinker was up to! Mum walks quietly to follow the sound of digging. Mum walked to the edge of the carpet out in the hall way; at the door of the living room, she standed there a minute. Mum could hear the scratching on the carpet very clearly, UNDER the carpet just in front of her feet. Mum lifted the carpet up and there is this little face looking up at her in a hole in the floor between the floor boards. MUM was so scared! Our house is over 100 yrs old so mum knew there were places that go from the top floor to the basement with no stopping. Mum's HEART STOPPED! Mum bent down to pull Tinker out of there, now Tinker thinks mum is playing a game! Tinker backs up and decides she is not coming out of there. Mum's heart sank. Mum backs up, Tinker sticks her head out a bit, mum grabbed her by the neck gently but firmly to get her out of there. Mum called her a little Sh%$$%. Mum won't let me use them words so I made little signs so you know what she said!!! Mum is bad to talk like that! Needless to say mum put the barrier up at the top of the stairs kicking all the fur kids out of the up stairs until she could get the floor fixed. Mum called Trevor, a nice man that helps mum fix things she can not fix, said I need you here ASAP the kids can get between the floors. Trevor was here before she got back from taking Ernie up to meet up with Cathy R. Trevor has the floor repaired properly; mum would not have been able to fix it that way. Now NO kid can get in there again.. PHEW what a scary thing to have happen first thing in the morning. Don't forget the Ferret Only Clinic June 2nd 2007, it is right around the corner. If you want a registration form let mum know she will get one out to you. We are going to have Jason, Winkin, Blinkin and Nodd here giving juggling lessons, cost is 5.00 for 45 min.

Mum hosted the club meeting here again last month, Miss Stephanie, Miss Kristie, Mr. Jeff, Miss Erin, Miss Nicky were here then we had a new member come too Miss Sue K. They got lots talked about; we kids got lots of hugs, kisses and play time with them. We like the meeting here because the members come play with us. Mum and some of the club members went to see Jason's show Miss Susann T. Nicky and Rachel, Stephanie and mum all went to see TWO. Susann kept saying she had never heard mum laugh as much as she did that day. It was a great show, it was a great time! Thanks Mr. Jason for being a great showman.
