Possum Senior Reporter - Suzie Q cub reporter Ziggy Reporter of a higher order Andy watching from Rainbow Bridge October 2010 Suzie Q here: Hey possum did you see mums face when she came home and all the play rooms were cleaned up and the floors were steam mopped? Possum here: Suz - why are you starting the news - that's my job - Suzie Q here: well let's see - one because it is already the 11th of October and you had not started it - two because you do not seem to have a brain that retains information because you just called me Suz - I am not Suz -I am Suzie Q - Possum here: what ever - so what is this about mum and the clean floors - Suzie Q here: don't you remember the look on mums face when she came home to find the shelter all put back together and the floors clean - Miss Iliana came in while mum was away - to surprise mum - thanks Miss Iliana mum was doing the happy dance - Possum here: yeah what is up with mum being gone so many times and so long - I thought with old lady Kay in a new home mum would be getting home and staying home - what is going on - Suzie Q here: is that gray fur working its way into that gray matter between your ears - Old Lady Kay is at a new home but she fell and broke her hip so mum has been going to the place she is at 3 times a week to help her get better so mum and Miss Kathy can get old lady Kay out of that place - back into the assisted living place - she broke her hip the week after mum got a call that old lady Kay needed mum to come get her to take her to a doctor - mum found the message from the home that Mum needed to call them - When mum got done with our meds and was walking out the door to head to Newark NY - Miss Margaret was walking in - poor Margaret had to fend for herself - mum's evening got progressively worse as it wore on - Mum and old lady Kay left Canandaigua hospital emergency room at 1 am - mum got OLK back to the Newark home at 1:30 am then mum got home at 2:30 am - one week later old lady Kay broke a hip - lucky for mum Miss Kathy was on the east coast so she went to the hospital with OLK this time and stayed with her through the registering process and the surgery - Miss Kathy is back west now so she does the telephone stuff and mum does the checking in on OLK stuff - mum is happy with that arrangement - she hates the telephone- Possum here: so how much longer are we going to have to share mum with old lady Kay - Suzie Q here: boy have you been sleeping on the job - old lady Kay is walking again - mum will be taking her back to the assisted living home some time this week - so mum will go back to checking on OLK once a week - Possum here: oh cool - hey mum got the fur kids on the giving tree all done - here is the link http://www.ferretgivingtree.com/index.php - Miss Mindy has it up on our web site too - Miss Mindy is an awesome web master - Miss Mindy makes our site look fantastic - she also came to help mum get flea meds on us - mum says she can do it herself but when she does it alone and gets interrupted then she could get mixed up - with Miss Mindy's help she feels better about interruptions - sure enough she got interrupted when they were doing us - Miss Donna is still doing our yard - pretty soon the yard will no longer need to be mowed and she will come in to play with us while she helps mum do play rooms - When Miss Margaret was here she mixed food for us - Miss Jackie went shopping for us - Mum sure has lots of helpers to take care of us in all kinds of different ways - Suzie Q here: Mum asked us to tell you guys that she loves that you send her links to see pictures and videos but if they are on face book mum can not get into them - mum says she has enough trouble keeping up with the emails - so face book is just not going to happen in her life time - Mum says she wants you guys to know that the new IFC shirts are on our site - there are some left over shirts from the 2008 symposium too - you can find them here http://notjustforferrets.com/shopsite_sc/IFC_Merchandise.html mum says remember all proceeds go to IFC - so go shopping and help a good cause - We had a second yard sale - Miss Iliana advertised it on Craig's list for us - it was okay but there were so many other yard sales that we had very little business - Possum here: Our yard sale help was Miss Brie - Miss Cathy D - Miss Mindy H - Mr. Dick - Miss Gail - Miss Jackie on Saturday - Sunday Miss Iliana - Miss Ginger - Mr Joe - Mr Carl - the guys trimmed our trees for us - they even trimmed the one the raccoons were climbing and getting into our bird feeders - thanks you guys for coming in to watch another yard sale and working around the yard - Hey Suzie - you see that picture way up top of this news letter - the one of me and Andy - well we have a new shelter friend that had that picture made into mouse pads - then he brought them to mum so the humans out there could buy one to send mum money for us for food - is that a cool idea or what - Thanks Mr. Dave - you rock - Miss Genevieve is back to coming to help at the shelter now that summer is over - Miss Pam and Miss Julia came to visit and play with us too - Waving at you Miss Pam Well Suzie I have no more notes for the news letter do you - if not we can close this news for this month - Suzie Q here: I have no more notes for the news - wow this is a short one - Mr BIG is going to be so proud of us keeping this news under 3 pages - wonder if we lost some of mum's notes and we are missing some news - you think - Possum here: I think if we did loose some notes and we are missing some news - mum will be sure to let us know about it - but we just made this news letter three pages by chattering about notes - anyway - Until next month Possum Senior Reporter Suzie Q - cub reporter and the cutest one -
