January 2009 Master Largo's News Possum Senior Reporter Ziggy Reporter of a higher order Andy watching from Rainbow Bridge Possum here: HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!! Man it was a great Christmas here at the shelter. The Giving tree got us fur kid's lots and lots of presents. Thanks everybody for helpen our mum take care of us. Hey Suzie did you get a look at all the Birthday cards mum got for her birthday? They were the same card from all different people! Do you think the world knows our mum loves us fur kids? Suzie Q here: Possum do you really think it is nice to tell people mum got the same card from many different people? Possum here: Sure I do, because mum smiled at each and every one of them and told me I could tell; because she was so thrilled that so many people thought of her with that special card. Ya gotta know they had to go out of their way to find a card with a ferret on it, cause we all know that most of the human race does not even think about us little fuzz butts! So sure I think it was okay and I know mum felt the love and special thoughts come though each and everyone of the cards she got! Mum got so many different birthday wishes from so many people, mum says she is blessed. So thanks for making our mum smile. Hey, I got another email from Miss K take a look: Miss K here: And the best of holidays to you and all the furry ones! ^_^ (Has Possum forgiven me yet for what I said? As Suzie Q said, it *is* true, but that might make it even worse! ^_^;;;) K Aw, Possum, didn't your mum tell you that I like spoiled rotten furry creatures the *bestest*? There's no dog more spoiled than my Naz, after all. *SPECIAL POSSUM SNUGGLES!* K Possum Here: Then I wrote back to Miss K with this message Dear Miss K I am sorry I got upset because you said something that was true about me. Mum says I need to stop being such a little snot. I think you are pretty cool and I know I can be a brat. So I forgive you for saying that if you will forgive me for being a spoiled rotten brat. Deal? Suzie Q here: okay! okay enough already it is time to tell some news! One Saturday morning Miss Stephanie N. came to our house, then Miss Donna D. showed up a bit later, then Mr. Peter B. came too. Mum did not think much about it until Miss Sue K. Mr. Dave showed up; mum looked at Miss Stephanie and said "okay what is going on"? Sue and Dave do not JUST drop by! So what are you guys up to! Miss Stephanie looked at mum a bit sheepishly and said well we got together to get you a Christmas gift you have needed for a while. It turns out that Miss Eileen P. Erin and Jeff H. Miss Lisa D. and Susann T. were all in on it too. They got our mum a small freezer to replace the one that died a couple of years ago. Miss Stephanie said now you can get all the blenders off your counter top, you can get the Duck soup made ahead of time. So mum can now make soup and then keep it in the little freezer just for soup! Thanks you guys for taking such good care of our mum! You made her cry that day. Peanut has a far away mom now, Miss Nikki lives far far away, and Miss Nikki says she lives down under. Possum here: Down under? Down under what? What do you mean down under where is that? That is a dumb place to be! Suzie Q here: Possum it means she lives in Australia! That is what it means. It is all the way on the other side of the world! Boy you are not only a brat you're not very informed! Possum here: AM TO!! I know about Australia, I know about that stuff. Suzie Q here: Anyway now that we know where Miss Nikki lives can we get on with the news? W hen Mum let Peanut get into her presents Peanut also found food that mum could eat, Miss Nikki sent mum some gluten free cookies. Mum would NOT share her cookies with us!!! During vacation from the big yellow thingy mum was planning on getting some extra things done around here, then she got sick, really; really sick with phenomena so she did not get anything extra done. She moved us kids, cleaned our cages, made sure we had food and water in our play rooms then went back to bed to sleep. She is just now starting to feel better. During that week we had some new shelter friends come to help mum, they picked up our toys, cleaned our food and water dishes and freshened it all up, mixed food for mum in the buckets. They really helped mum a lot that day! Thanks Ashley, Janel and Marissa, you guys are fun to play with too! We have campers here, the Swartz kids came to hang out, they used to live here, now they live with Mr. Ed you remember NOT mr. Ed the horse the REAL Mr. Ed the human that gave Bootsie, Cinders, and Nala a 4-ever home! Possum here: My turn! Miss Mindy came to help mum one day, Miss Donnas' mom was really sick so Miss Donna could not come to visit with us, Miss Donnas' mom died, we are sad for Miss Donna. We love you Miss Donna. Miss Mindy also had her mom and dad come to visit, Mr. Dick wanted to meet Tick and Tock. Miss Gail already did meet them so they all camed to see the boy's. What Gail and Dick did not know is Miss Mindy had it set up with mum to have them become Tick and Tock's far away family. Miss Mindy did that for her mom and dad's anniversary. So now Tick and Tock have a not so far away, far away grandma and grandpa! Oh! Oh you guys sure did some shopping through iGive mum got a check for $31.46 all because of you guys! Thank you!! Miss Sue B sent mum a special transfer, it is a picture she took and then put on this special paper mum and Miss Sue B. call transfer paper. Anyway Miss Sue told mum she could do anything she wished with it, so mum is going to raffle it off, the really cool thing is this: Mum can put it on any size shirt you want, or she can put it on a pillow case, or make it into a picture for you to frame, if you can think of it mum will work on getting it done for you. So go here to see what it is. http://www.kwflatbed.com/brenda/raffle.html Thanks Miss Sue B. for helpen mum take care of us! Suzie Q here: Well Possum it looks like we are all out of mum's notes to tell us what to put in the news, there is one thing left though. The Ferret Lovers Club of Upstate NY is coming to our house on January 17th for our winter party and meeting. If you want to join us give Miss Stephanie an email right here [log in to unmask] to let her know you want to join us. That means we are going to have lots of friends come play with us that day. So until next month Possum Senior Reporter Suzie Q Cub Reporter [Posted in FML 6213]
