This is Susie Lee in, of and for The Ferret & Dove Sanctuary in Pensacola, Florida A huge box of bedding arrived with a very late mail yesterday ***THANK YOU!, THANK YOU!! Crafty Weasels and Florence Love most especially! Every ferret here has been SO Blessed by you!*** after we had just completed another rescue of a ferret who was (their story) turned in to a pet store (Ivey's pet Store) by some people who "found" it and that it was a "biter". Okay, yeah, this big panda-colored lovely lady ferret had a gnoshing habit for hands reaching for her and when Wes used work-gloves the meanwhile ALSO toting his portable oxygen tank around,and she grabbed and pulled-back on the glove. The care-folks at the pet store moved her around by wrapping her into a big soft t-shirt (smart girls! :) . Haven't even gotten pics of her yet, but the vet's office was open and ready on our way home and she was pronounced young and very healthy and got her rabies and distemper shot and certificate. I scruffed her to get the shots done and she was outraged! Her name is Petra Panda Ferret, for it's so close to Easter, if she'd been a boy she would have been Peter panda (picking a peck of pickled fingers? :) Well, it's morning and she's had what's very likely been her first good night's sleep in genuine darkness in a long while and is *not* offering to bite at me for anything! And I'm not wearing those rat-handled gloves (years ago we had a couple of pet rats), neither! [Posted in FML 6654]
