The economy is so poor and I live on meager disability income, yet I manage to find a place in my heart and wallet to give to as many of these lovable furballs as I can each year. One year I was living on $300 per month (which is utterly impossible). I only gave to one ferret and felt guilty. But if not for the tree that one little ferret would not have received a most needed gift. My thoughts to those complaining? Be thankful we have a tree at all to assist those shelter ferrets in whatever way we can. The tree is a lot of work. Kudos to those who manage it. CathyM [Posted in FML 7214]
