Here at the shelter, I have a lot of things to be thankful for and here's just one of the God given many: Volunteer: "A person who chooses freely to do or offer to do something" They left off "with a lot of love". This past weekend precious volunteers took over total operation of Denise's Delightful Dookers Ferret Rescue and "kicked me out" (it's in my home....lololol). A young man (Alec) had an idea, talked with other volunteers and they all agreed----I needed a break (I sure didn't disagree). I got to have a wonderful early Thanksgiving with family on Saturday and a very nice visit with a precious friend on Sunday. I proceeded late Sunday afternoon to take 2 cat naps.----not used to all the running around. I wanted to share this because I'm so appreciative and proud to call these volunteers my friends. Their high work standard and love for the fuzzies spills over onto each other and it's so neat to hear them talking, laughing, yelling when nipped, sharing ideas and working together to ensure the best for our ferrets. Jordan (high school student) commented that we all were like "extended family" and he enjoyed volunteering here with all the neat people. I totally agree with you Jordan. THANK YOU!!! Sadenna, Rebecca (drives 1 hr), Mike, Alec (college student), Jordan, Marcy (travels by bus-1 hour), Pate, Lisa S., Lisa F., Christina, Cindy, Summer (emergency task person), Kenn, Kenny, Maranda (works at Petco), Jenn (printer extraordinaire), Carolyn (website guru).
