Sarah Senior Reporter Daisy Cub Reporter September 2012 Sarah here: Can someone please stop the clock so things will slow down? Daisy here: What's up with you Sarah a bit cranky these days? Sarah here: I suppose so, with mum being back to work on the big yellow thingy full time now; she just seems to be running in and out all the time. Then with the adoption days stuff that means she is out the door one more time. Daisy here: Yeah it has been an adjustment to having mum gone more during the day but I am not willing to give up eating to have her home with us all day are you? Sarah here: No; I guess not but it sure was nice having her home more with us this summer. I guess I best quit complaining and get on with the news; at least mum is working and we have food to eat, so many of our shelter friends are out of work these days. Daisy here: I want to start telling about the humans that have been checking out our picture site, 571 of you were there, thanks for checking us out! The new 2013 SOS/FML calendar is out, here is the link to see how to get one or http://www.supportourshelters.org/FML_Calendar.html If you ordered one with mum you are all set but here is the link if you want to see the list of fur kids that made it in the calendar this year. Sarah here: Mum hopes to have them here by the time our Christmas in October event happens on October 6th 2012 here is the link to find out more http://www.ferretfarm.org/events/OctXmas2012.html we sure hope you humans out there will drop in and join the fun that day. Mum and Miss Jackie ran Avery to Jamestown to see Dr Rappole; http://www.moonbrookvet.com/ Avery had a lump under her left ear and Mum wanted a second opinion. Dr Rappole looked at Avery and said he could fix her, he would even do it that day so mum and Miss Jackie did not have to come back. See Dr Rappole is 3 hours west of here so mum drove 100 miles one way to get Avery there. Anyway the Doc got a tube put in Avery so the yucky could drain and sent her home with Mum and Miss Jackie - it was a long day but Mum was happy that Avery was now more comfortable. Mum was also happy to have Miss Jackie with her for company that was a lot of hours to be away without somebody to talk to. Miss Jackie was right there with Mum to keep her company and give her moral support. Thanks Miss Jackie! Daisy Here: Hey Sarah did you know we get money sent to us from iGive just because humans out there shop on line through iGive with our shelter in mind. Mum signed us up a long long time ago so if folks want to help they can. We just got a check this month for $42.17 - all because you humans out there were shopping on line through iGive - an organization that helps us fur kids just because we are signed up and you shop - the more you shop through iGive the more money you raise for us. So far this year you have raised for us $199.00 If you want to learn more about how to help, go here Miss Tori has it all spelled out for you. Look for the iGive logo at the bottom of this page http://www.ferretfarm.org/HelptheShelter.html Sarah here: There has been lots of activity here at the Shelter. Miss Marcia C, Miss Donna D, Miss Iliana B, Miss Jackie R, and her other half Bob, Master Dylan, Miss Kathy C, The Keenen's Charlie and Reilly, Miss Brie Mc, Miss Patty S, Miss Sue K, Miss Donna Z. Miss Tori and Miss Shaylyn have all been here at least once, some of them more. A few of the volunteers gathered to have a meeting one weekend to see what more we can do to help the community learn about ferrets and what we do here. Then other humans come in to give mum a hand in cleaning up our messes. You and I don't make much of a mess but boy there are some that do all the time. Mostly it is Marshmallow and Snowy Bowie and the 5 pack. You, Daisy don't stay where mum puts you! Miss Donna comes in to take care of our property and the play yard so it looks nice all the time and ready for us to use when we have events. Like what we have coming up next month. Daisy Here: Mum not only went back to work, Miss Stacie K. told mum to come to her house to get some tomatoes - Mum was thinking a few - HA! It was bushels and bushels - Mum brought 2 Bu home to can and freeze. She has not only been up to her ears in fur kids she was up to her ears in tomatoes. She did finally get them all done. Miss Donna Z stopped in to leave off papers for us. Miss Sheilla asked Mum if she could set up a Facebook page for us, Mum said sure as long as she does not have to sign up to be on FB and Miss Sheilla is willing to keep it up Mum was okay with the idea. WOW - Miss Sheilla is keeping that page awesome go see what she is up to out there http://www.facebook.com/LakeroadFerretFarm She and Miss Tori are working together to keep our shelter out there for anyone that wants to know about us fur kids! They are both doing a great job; thanks ladies for helpen mum take care of us. We had some campers here this summer, Miss Ella brought her fur kids to hang out with us and Brownie came to camp too. It was good to see them again. Sarah here: Mum was invited to set up at some adoption day events this summer, so she, Miss Iliana, Miss Patty and Miss Shaylyn were at one this last weekend. They took Pickles and Hammy this time. They are going to another one on the 29th of September in Dansville NY Mum says that Frenchie, Rizzo and Sandy will go this next time. Mum likes to give us all a chance to show humans how we can be on our best behavior. Well Daisy it looks like we have all the notes mum left us taken care of, I think we should be done with the news, so until next month - Sarah and Daisy the best darn news reports on the East Coast <http://www.ferretfarm.org> [Posted in FML 7551]
