I finally ordered my Ferret Date Book (clearly I'm not quick about things!) but I had to tell you all how wonderful it is! First of all it benefits a shelter, it was created by Troy Lynn of Ferret Family Serives. What a fun item! Thank goodness I ordered two, as soon as we opened it both my husband and I couldn't wait to look through the whole thing. It is filled with adorable pictures and great ferret tips and informational notes. Throughout the book there are also great ferret websites listed, a wealth of information! I am so glad she is doing 2009 Date Books also. The 2008 ones are only $5, you can send an e-mail to Troy Lynn at [log in to unmask] to order one. They also make a great gift for a shelter Mom or Dad, think of all the appointments they need to keep track of. It would also be great as a ferret medical diary, to list their appointmnets and also med start dates, symptoms as you note them. What a great reference to flip back to when you need to compare. Write in monthly weights, (or you know, small observations. Ever called the vet and tried to explain, well he did this occasionally.....) Such a great item!! Risa PS the photos throughout it alone will make you smile, I kept saying to my husband "oh look at the photo on Oct 9th". Even without being a useful date book, it makes a great ferret book! PPS Helps support a wonderful shelter! [PPPS] You can also read about the shelter at www.ferretfamilyservices.org dooks! [Posted in FML 5922]
