Well, its a slow move but these little darlings are learning in spite of themselves and each got a picture take. There is one little slasher girl left we don't trust handling without gloves............and I bet you can tell who she is in the album as she is the only one with her picture taken in a cage. We have several little girls too that are going to pop any time. Talk about being in a loving mood too, they are. We have foster homes to take care of mom and the babies. A group of girl scouts in Houston are making hammocks, one for each ferret to take home with them to their future home. We invited them to come visit the facilities with signed permission/release forms by the parents (can look but not touch the Rainbows, can cuddle the shelter ferrets). I think enough treats were donated each ferret can take a can of TF treats with them too, if not TF, then another brand. It's been only a couple of days but they all need a bath again, especially the males, I think they are lifting weights to break out in sweat as they have that musky smell, they sure don't have to worry about the girls not being able to find them from miles around. Got a wonderful offer too from Ann Haager, her group, Crafty Weasels of Ga, make hammocks and other beddings. New ones are fine but what we need is not too cute items - I mean such beautiful stuff is too pretty to put in their cage to use the way they are using it now. It will make lovely going to their home gifts. Well, here it is, the album as promised. Pictures to begin with is the unloading from the van, THEN, we have a couple of pictures showing what TEXAS weather did to us when people said they would come from far away to help, last all the little kids pictures and a couple of the workers. Now don't go thinking we took a picture of just one ferret and put different names on it (each one has a name starting with an R to be known as the Rainbow Ferrets and some of them are a real stretch) but each is different in color and personality. I did mention they were gorgeous didn't I. <http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff149/milliesa2003/A%20Rainbow%20Ferret/> if you cannot not pull it up, write me privately and I will send it to you in an easier form. By the way, being member of a huge dog and cat organization involved in pulling animals from the local city shelters, I have tried to tell them how well organized and how strong the ferret community is - they can't believe we are this united and big. Don't think I haven't been bragging on this group to them and what can be done when we have an emergency. They are impressed. Millie and her Cleaning Crew www.Txferretrescue.org [Posted in FML 5907]
