Oh wow, what a great BUSY weekend we had. Quite a few volunteers up from Houston. Houston ladies, you rocked! All the ferrets are ugly, ugly LOL. Thanks to the ladies who busted their rears Saturday. I was up both Saturday and Sunday about 4-6 hours each day. All the fuzz are being vetted and very well taken care of. Millie is working her tail off every waking moment of the day hauling kids to the vet and doing meds etc. So it's so wonderful seeing the volunteers there for the time they are giving Millie a break where she doesn't have to do anything except catch up on paperwork and update information. I mean she's there all day running kids to the vet, doing the cleaning she more than deserves the break time when the volunteers are there and always within ear shot to answer questions. I am happy to report that by the time I left yesterday evening all ferrets were comfy cozy with clean cages and bedding, food, water and were loved on. I applaud Millie for taking on this rescue and doing everything correctly. Yes, it's a little caotic washing bedding after bedding and keeping some papers straight but we managed to get everything together and even get all distempers done with Connie's help (from Ferret Waystation in Austin). Though Im from Fort Worth about 1.20hrs away I intend on making it back this week and this weekend to put in my fair share of bathing and playing, cleaning and such. So please, I beg anyone within driving distance especially that can help out during the week please stop by and help out. 73 ferrets are alot. It may pale in comparrision the the DMK kids but it's still a lot. There are so many beautiful babies (note: no baby babies) that need homes and also some shelter kids that need homes. Im sure she could still use some supplies as these kids will not be released until all have been vetted, spayed and neutered. So please contact her and Im sure she would very much appreciate any donations. There are things that cost money... the constant running of the washer and dryer for one :) I can't wait to go back!!!
