This is Susie Lee with Wes Hurley and The Ferret & Dove Sanctuary in Pensacola, FL. Wes wanted me to be sure and pass along our thanks to everyone who called and asked how we were before, during and shortly after Hurricane Gustav passed through our area. We're all fine, nobody even went into an imminent-tornado-panic, which many animals will do when-if something twisty this way comes. There were reports of tornado touchdowns to the north of us and to the south of us, but if anything were coming our way, we were all certain that the angels who look after all the ferrets would have gotten together to lift up the tornado away from our house just like they did years before during Hurricane Ivan. Comically each of the 5 cats kept going to the front door to see about going outside and then dug in their claws and backed up JUST like they were giant ferrets when the door was opened. I was sure I heard 58 ferrets all giggling behind their paws. Here's hoping everyone else in this storm's passage, through Houston and beyond, will be in just as safe shape as we all are. Take care, all. http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/ferret_rescuer/index.html http://ferretanddovesanctuary.petfinder.com [Posted in FML 6081]
