The calls streamed in yesterday from Washington, Florida, Massachusetts, Arizona and many other states on Black (Footed Ferret) Monday at Performance Foods/Totally Ferret. Isabella and I were on hand to debut her specially packaged Dooker Delights, take calls and orders and chat with the great folks of the ferret community. Izzy even got to talk with her BFFH (Best Friend Forever that is a Human), Steve from Ferret Depot http://www.ferretdepot.com who put in an over the top order! We had BFF adoptions and plush toys on special also and folks were snapping those up for Xmas gifts. And the total.(drumroll please Izzy)..$1,800 RAISED FOR BLACK-FOOTED FERRET RECOVERY! And MANY people called in to donate food for a shelter and ferrets on the Giving Tree http://www.ferretgivingtree.com , it was truly amazing to see the kindness and giving of the ferret community. Some people, and I won't mention any names (Lisa O.) asked me to read passages from the trashy romance novel "Shadow Bear". And a big thanks to Liz and April at Performance Foods/Totally Ferret for their generosity and putting this all together! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whether it's black-footed, sable or albino, we're all in this together. Travis Livieri Prairie Wildlife Research P.O. Box 308 Wellington, CO 80549 http://www.prairiewildlife.org [Posted in FML 6534]
