As you know -- I'm "retiring". Momma saies I done good over da years and she wants me to relax and enjoy my time.. I'm only 7 years old... geesss... not like me going anywhere. Me ferret parents were 13 before dhey went to da bridge. Bella Bear is about 9 months old and was a rescue (juzt like me)... ok ok... geese... SHE wantz ta tell her OWN story! So fine... here iz da brat: Whatz up! I'm Bella Bear and I'm like TOTALLY happy to be here! A nice woman named Carol Owens from Ferret Friends Shelter in Tucson , Arizona rescued me from a really bad place. I waz with some jerk who didn't love me and didn't play with me. I was kept in a basement and given food and water but no people time. That was until I was saved! I went to Ms. Carols house and within a day or two my mommy and daddy showed up. Ms. Carol was told I was a bad biter and she told them that. But daddy just HAD to see me. So he got me out of the cage and I ran and played and jumped ... I made daddy fall in love with me.... Mommy didn't have a choice! Now I give kisses to daddy (well he shaved his mustache so he doesn't get as many cuz I really liked it..). I'm honored to be following in Princess Peppers shoes and amazed that she picked me! She doesn't really like me cuz she thinks I'm a brat ... but I'm not! Honest! I do have to go through tests and stuff with her and if at the end of NEXT year she thinks I'm ready then she might crown me as a Princess. Right now she saies I'm a Princess In Training! PIT! I have set up a MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/princessbellabear and also a quick information page about me: http://www.geocities.com/ferretcorneraz/BellaBear.html My FIRST act is gonna be to do the farewell Card Exchange for Princess Pepper! I'll get you more information but it's gonna be in January! Ok... I'm done... PP wants to talk again (figures) C-ya! BellaBear ::::::::::::Princess Pepper:::: Don't worry... I'll be poking my head in to check on her throughout this year. Can't leave her out there alone... she'd go nutz and drive everyone else nutz! But don't worry... she is a smart girl (no tell her I sayz that!)... Keep da money comin' in for SOS and help the shelters.
