This is Susie Lee with The Ferret & Dove Sanctuary, Inc., in Pensacola Florida. Profoundly grateful thanks from myself and my partner Wes are due to Valerie Wahoski and to everyone who helped her gather the bedding supplies for our current ferrety population of 63. The doves are also grateful because this gives them more opportunities to make use of the (extremely used) raggedy, un-ferret-usable hammies which are hung into the doves' cages and then each filled with a handful of pine-straw. Otherwise, we usually give each adopted ferret their "own" favorite hammies and-or sleepsacks to go with them who are adopted out. It gives each ferret adoption that personalized homey touch and helps each adopted ferret settle into their new families ever so much better. We also might as well take this opportunity to publicly thank each person and family who sent us Thanksgiving cards, the most recent one showed up with the yesterday mail. All the cheers and huzzahs and words of encouragement for keeping a little ferret shelter going mean a great deal to both of us (and our unpaid, but undaunted volunteers!) and the extra love you pour out certainly trickles down to all the furred and feathered little souls we're trying our best to take care of. http://ferretanddovesanctuary.petfinder.com http://angelfire.com/theforce/ferret_rescuer/index.html www.myspace.com/ferretanddove www.myspace.com/gwensmomsusan [Posted in FML 5815]
