Hi friends It's me BLOSSOM! Well I guess I am very proud since both boys Nestle and Austin went to rainbow Bridge I have been given the official title of Mascot here at Ferret Wise. I think this will greatly work to my advantage as I turn my deaf ear to "No" . Hahahahaha! Thank you to our friends that sent memorial donations in in Austin's Memory. Momma has started to refresh the emergency fund-- but we hope it won't be needed for a while! Destiny is very slowly starting to come around. I am doing my best to reassure her but boy o boy-- they must have been very bad to her in the pet store. Both Elric & Barn-y are pal - ing around big time. They play together adn sleep together like they were always brothers! Uncle Maurice says the new kids Stuewey & Stella have settled in jest fine with Petey aka Bubba and Aunty Marilyn is making great progress with Taffy & Alamo who are looking much better fat and fluffy. Mz Wednesday is keeping them both in line. Well lots is happening. The Friends of the shelter gathered for a May cookout and 12 folks gathered chatted and checked us kids out! There are some great new items on ebay to help keep us all in healthy food and nutritional support-- and I hear they are setting up a Sizzling Summer Raffle in August to help build up our vet account which has diminished with ferret emergencies etc., this year. There are one of a kind and HIghly collectible items going up such as : the running ferret wall clock that hung in the shelter room... handpainted by shelter mom herself, a painted pet rock ferret, a great Ferretwise Funhouse tent (very rare), 2 ferret in the pocket tees.. and more items are coming. The melatonin has made my coat very long and fluffy again.. Shelter Mom says I look like a 2 year old again! 11 implants were administered in May and several more for the hospice kids are due in July!

Mom & Dad are really busy trying to get the building fixed... part of the first floor is falling down... so whatever we can do to help pay our own way is a good thing! Well it is my play time and I have to try to get Destiny out form hiding behind the cage... she regresses quite easily! Please drop me a note ! The Frolic has been delayed in publishing due to a shortage of funds for printing but Momma says no later than July 5th! Take care, Blossom, mascot ( oh I like that title!) www.ferretwise.org [Posted in FML 5992]
