Possum Senior Reporter - Ziggy Reporter of a higher order Andy and Suzie Q watching from Rainbow Bridge October 2011 Possum here: Oh my Goodness! What a day we had Saturday! I tried to get mum to let me do the news yesterday but she said she was too tired. She was pretty pooped! Our Christmas in October was a huge success. The weather was perfect; mum even came in to get me to take me out side to see everybody! There were humans all over the place! Miss Wendy took my picture while I was out side visiting folks. New folks came to meet us from Getzville, NY I gotta tell ya, our party place looked awesome; it was all decorated, tables and raffles set up, food, food and more food, and wine tasting. As the pictures come in mum will post them on our web shots site for you to see. http://community.webshots.com/user/lakeroad2 So many things to do, people to see, places to go on Saturday - it was just awesome, keeping in mind it could not have happened without each and every human that came to help, donate things/time and then be here for the fun too! Oh yeah and the CD I requested for the music that day got here in time to save my fur! You humans rock! Thanks for saving me from becoming mums winter color! The gold people were here, the humans that turned in their gold jewelry and things helped to earn our shelter $38.00 for hosting the gold party. The folks were great and happy to help our cause. Miss Katie Carr from KS spent a couple of days with us so she could join us for the fun. Miss Katie is the adoption facilitator for the Kansas City Ferret Hotline. Miss Katie helped get last minute things done the morning of our event, played with us, clipped nails for us and just generally spent time hanging out with mum and us fur kids. I have some very important things to tell you this month - the first is I am going to semi-retire from the news, I need to step down to the cub reporter position and have Sarah step into my paws. I have been feeling poorly for a bit. The other day I scared mum because I was leaving for Rainbow Bridge! Mum got me back but I am getting tired so I need to step aside for a new Senior Reporter. I have been doing the news sense February 2006; it is time to let a new fur kid do it. I have looked at all the applications from the shelter fur kids that wanted the cub reporter job, took the suggestions from all you humans out there that sent me ideas. I decided with mum's blessing to have Sarah step into my position, and I will take the cub reporters job to train Sarah. Sarah fits the bill for the senior reporter job; she is just like I was when I got here to the shelter, jumps up and down to get attention in her cage or in the play rooms, matters not to her. If someone is here she is listening in on all the conversations, nosing into everyone's business, I think that is what makes a good senior reporter, don't you? The second is mum has IFC shirts here if you want them - the Globe shirts were such a hit more were ordered so if you want one let mum know [log in to unmask] and there are some Arizona shirts left too - We are in the news! A Messenger post photographer came to take pictures of us, he did a video too - we have not seen the pictures yet but here is the video, take a look http://www.mpnnow.com/multimedia/popularvideo/x432923739/Ferret-Shelter Okay I guess I have all the notes covered mum left me - so until next month - Possum I will be in the cub reporter position next month Senior Reporter Sarah will step in at that time Newest Shelter Video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0GEYL02fnU> Shelter Video <http://www.kwflatbed.com/videos/ferretfarm.wmv> Fur kids with new homes <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4QDOOjil9A> The Giving Effect <http://ferretfarm.thegivingeffect.com/> [Posted in FML 7209]
