It is all over and now mum has to go back to driving that big yellow thingy! I am sad. I like my mum at home! Oh, Miss Cathy D came to see me; she played with me and loved on me. She is feeling much much better! All because of me!!! Her heart don't leak any more. Hey Suz have you seen that imposter running around here at the shelter? Suzie Q here: What imposter? Possum Here: The one fur kid that looks like me, talks like me and dances like me! The only difference between her and me is she is more annoying, oh and she also bites mums ankles. Suzie Q here: What makes you think anyone is going to believe that there is a fur kid here, that looks like, talks like, and dances like you that is MORE annoying than you? You are most annoying, all you do is complain. There is NO imposter here. It is all in your make believe fuzzy little brain. Possum Here: No really I mean it; there is a new fur kid in here that looks talks and acts just like me. She even had mum confused one morning. HONEST! Miss Donna D. thinks so too. Suzie Q here: I don't believe you! Let's get going with the news. One Saturday Miss Donna D. helped mum do work that takes more than mum's hands, she helped mum change cage bases; they was yucky! Miss Donna D. also helped mum get some pictures for the Web site, cause it is working again. Go check it out! www.ferretfarm.org YA!!!! Thanks Mr. Harry for sending mum what she needed to get that working again. Thanks Miss Kristie for helpen mum get the other computer going cause the old one died. Possum Here: MY TURN MOUTHY! New humans: Miss Collette, Mr. Bill and their family came to visit. Their Meagan held me and loved on me a long long time. She got Suzie Q up too. The Darrah family, Miss Collette and Mr. Bill were here again to meet up with other humans that was looking for a new home for their fur kids. Mum hooked both families up. The humans that wanted new fur kids, to the family that wanted to give up fur kids. They met in our driveway. The picture of the family that took the 2 fur kids is here. Thanks for doing that for mum Mr. Harry. http://community.webshots.com/album/555500030tGOWHO?vhost=community Suzie Q here: Don't forget the yard sale pictures!

Here is the site if you want to see me in my gown; with the entire wedding party. Remember Miss Donna S. made the entire party's attire. http://www.skweezeme.net/ We had lots of campers here; Tolledo kids, Walker kids, Donahue kids, and the Deutsch chick, she went home today. Suzie Q here: Guess what, I has been at the shelter 1 yr as of Aug 17. I was so unhappy in my old home; I was biting real hard anyone that touched me. That family brought me here and mum taught me I did not has to bite. She told me I could stay as long as I wanted, if I found a family to love, I could go; but if I didn't I did not have to. Mum lets me play and play, I have toys; clean cage, all the food I want. I didn't have them things at my other home. Thanks Mum! I am glad you took me in. Miss Cathy R came one Sunday; she mopped floors while Miss Kristie worked on mum's computer. New humans looking for fur kids came in from Ithaca. Miss Lisa and Mr. Peter hung out with us, played with lots of us. Then Mum had a family that needed to give up their ferrets so Lisa and Peter took the 2 kids that mum did not have room for. Do you know mum has had to turn 30 kids away this summer? That makes mum real sad. Anyway mum got word this morning that Lisa and Peter still want to take Milo and Taz so mum is going to make arrangement to get to their house for a home visit so they can go there to live too. Mr. Ed is going to take the 3 monsters that fell in love with him, Bootsie, Nola, and Cinders. Where are you Mr. Ed????? Miss Stacie stopped in to see us too. We have 2 notes from humans that took kids from here. From; Miss Stephanie and Mr. Tom. They are connected humans. Just know it is not true!!!! Mum does not repackage us!!! Warning!! Brenda Johnson has been adopting spider monkeys re-packaged as ferrets!! They will get into any and everything in your house. The first time in over 10 YEARS, Sweet (not ) Pea opened our appliance cupboard and trashed it in about 15 seconds. If there is something she can't or won't climb. I haven't found it. Warning!! Spastic ferrets for adoption! She also just pulled the garbage bag out of the closed lid garbage can... I can't figure out how, but she did it. It has a step on pedal, but she pulled it and the coffee filter and grounds out through the top with the lid closed. Lord help us. Tom. That is it!!! She is coming back to the shelter this weekend!!!! You can deal with her for a few weeks. LOL!! In the 10yrs we have had ferrets and the 3 years we have been at this apartment I have never, never, never had any ferret, even the ones I baby sat for, get in to a cupboard! We were sitting here and heard a noise and could not figure out where it came from. Low and behold she is in the appliance cupboard. Steph Possum Here: Hey everybody I want to say thanks for buying raffle tickets from my far away mom, and Miss Lisa O. they both spoil me, anyway they are the ones that run Friends of Ferret Shelters Raffle Site. They are the ones that got lots of people to buy tickets to help us get a roof that don't leak. Anyway I just wanted you all to know we are so lucky to have so many of you help mum take such good care of us. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts and tummies. Suzie Q here: You didn't tell about mum's eye Possum. Possum Here: so who wants to know about mum's eye? Suzie Q here: the people that care about her and us. Anyway mum got up to go to work this summer and she thought there was something in her eye, so when she looked in the mirror, she saw what looked like a tear on the outside of the retina from top to bottom. It was 5 am so mum could not get a doctor at that time so she went to work (she could see okay). Then when she got back from her bus run she asked for the afternoon off to go see the eye doctor. Miss Donna D. came in and took mum so mum did not have to drive. Mum says she thinks Miss Donna wanted the afternoon off from work. Hee hee! But mum said it was a wonderful afternoon, she and Miss Donna had time to catch up, talk and just relax for a bit while mum found out all that was wrong was a blood vessel broke. The doctor said there was nothing that he could do to fix it, that it would heal on its own. Miss Cathy D. said mum looked like she belonged in a horror flick. Her eye did look pretty scary. It is all better now!!!! Possum Here: See what I mean? I ask a question and you just take off with what ever and leave me out of the news. So Now I am going to tell some. Miss Donna D. Miss Cathy R. and Miss Cathy D. all came to the shelter the same day, so it was decided that the summer stuff out side would get shut down and put away. It is done!! Wow that did not take long at all with everyone out there at the same time doing it together. Mum says that having such good friends to help her take care of things is a true blessing. Thanks you guys you sure know how to help mum stay caught up. Miss Nicky and Mr. Mike showed up to see us, say hi and get some treats for their kids from the store. Thanks for saving Beanie from Ebony Mr. Mike. Mum was silly and put Beanie in Ebony's cage and Ebony was in there too. Good Save; Miss Nicky and Mr. Mike. Mr. Mike picked up Tinker Stinker thinking it was Evita. Mum says no that is Tinker! Mr. Mike sure put her down fast! LOL you are funny Mr. Mike. Miss Collette and Mr. Bill brought one of the new fur kids' back to mum, she was really really sick and they could not find a ferret vet in their area to help them. All the ones they took her to said they did not know what was wrong. Mum has been up with her every 2 hours to feed her soup all through the night. Okay it is time to close the news and get this out. Until next month; Possum senior reporter; Suzie Q always in my fur Suzie Q here: Until next monthÉÉ.
