First I would like to thank Kris for all his hard work and love for the fuzzies. It so helps the precious "dookers" and the many shelters that care for them. I would like to thank Pat Shaskiu, Kami Voertman, Kelly Morin & Cheryl Ayars for their Santa Giving packages ...and sure would appreciate your email address to thank you. Now, whoever picked Ike is really giving to Brutus. I messed up---gave Ikes name to Brutus. Here is the blurb on Brutus: Yep, I'm the Brutus. However, I'm a lover and a kisser and want attention all the time. I have developed Insulinoma and am doing ok. I came to the shelter with 3 cagemates and now only 2 of us share a cage -- the other 2 passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I'm soooo glad I came here... I have more buddies to play with, toys, and loving attention. But we REALLY always need Totally Ferret Active & Baby food, ferretvite, ferretone, chicken and olive oil would sure be a big help and we would get our yummy "Dook soup". (*Brutus likes things to hide in and run thru).

That way I can thank you via email and send a "thank you" "snail" mail. This year we will be getting the "THANK YOU's" out later than usual due to my husband passing away before Thanksgiving. So much paperwork to do and then running the shelter of 124 precious fuzzies.(I got a cold the day after my husbands memorial service and it got worse and ended up with bronchitis..whew!! It is taking a little longer to get well.. ugh..) I thank you ahead of time for your patience and understanding. I also want to thank so many of you that sent the most wonderful and precious emails of encouragement during the rough patch of losing my best friend & husband of 36 years (we knew each other 41yrs). They were sooooooooo encouraging and I felt each and every one of your hearts reaching out to me. Again, I LOVE the ferret community. (Background info: My husband, Michael, had congestive heart failure (due to an accident), diabetes, was an amputee (due to an accident) and we found out 6 mths ago that he had been having TIA's (mini strokes) for about 10 years and we didn't know it. November 12, he suffered cardiac arrest and a massive stroke at the same time at our home. He lived for a week in the hospital when he passed away, Nov. 20th. We had his "celebration" memorial service Dec. 6th...what a special time that was with all of our friends and family in attendance.) Michael is not hurting anymore and I know he is singing in the choir, loving on the fuzzies that are already up there and sitting at the feet of Jesus just soaking it all up. Yes, I miss him terribly...but I mourn only for myself. He's in a much better place.
