Mr. Harry put the pictures and explanation here > <http://www.kwflatbed.com/brenda/raffle.html> And the Topsy Turvy Ferrets in Alaska (especially Odie-1-Kanodie), respond: The PLAY yard? THE play yard? One of our favorite spots in the world? What do you mean it is falling apart? Oh, no! THAT can NEVER be allowed to happen! For those of you who don't know, Odie was delivered to Brenda by the people who surrendered him. Without her help, he may have been allowed to remain the escapee he became the night before he was scheduled to be delivered to her. The humans didn't want him and delayed meeting me by about a month before I requested that he be left at Brenda's. The night before he was delivered he escaped. The humans found him under a car in the parking lot. I strongly believe that had they not had someone waiting for him that Odie would have been allowed to remain "missing." Brenda lives in New York and has a HUGE yard. It is a favorite stop of ours as we traveled from points west to return to Connecticut and Massachusetts, while I was living in New England. There were many days that we would pull in and the ferrets would bound out of the car and into the play yard. It was always a great break for both ferrets and humans alike. Refreshing, invigorating, fun. And of course Odie, the escape artist, was able to leap out without missing a beat by using the turtle sand box as a springboard. Nobody else has done that, I understand. And, we moved the sandbox closer to the center of the play yard! lol Now it appears this haven is in need of repair. The Topsy Turvies (Odie, Skitch, Isadora & Duncan) will be contributing to the repair, remembering all the fun times we have had there. Several others from the Poop-in-the-Corner-Gang and the Too-Few Crew will be dooking and playing in the play yard at Rainbow Bridge. So, Possum & Suzy Q, get ready for work.
