The Ohio Rescue and all our little (okay, not so little) charges that we cared for have been on my mind for the last week or two. As I read some of the posts Saturday and today, I found myself filled with many emotions. I was already scheduled to visit the Lakeroad Ferret Farm and found it to be my savior today. You see, while there are many special ferrets at Brenda's there were only four who could help me balance my emotions - the Category Four Crew dropped off by Renee Downs on her return trip home. These four DMK kids were part of the resurrender Cindy Scheidt had taken into her home. We had a connection - we shared a very stressful, emotional, exciting, fun and tiring time in a little town in Southern Ohio. It was a significant event in my life and something I would jump into all over again with as much coniction as I did last September. Talk about the best medicine. Forewarned of potential biting, what came from the cage were four very loving ferrets that seemed to know that I needed them today as much as they needed all of us throughout the days of this rescue. Big Boy settled himself around my neck and scratched in my hair, Little Foot settled into my arms and the girls -- well they didn't ever really settle down. But between the four, my tears were licked from my face, I received several kisses, my ears were preened and well, I was generally well cared for! They touched my soul long ago and they were there to touch my soul again today when I needed them. To all those who helped with this rescue, or any rescue, blessings to you. To all the DMK kids everywhere, may your life be better than it was. To all of you who do this 24/7 you have my endless respect.
