We are getting down to the crunch time here at the shelter. The ferrets are saying something is going on, but they don't know what it is. Mom is getting all of these boxes in the box at the end of the street but she isn't saying who they are for. Guess she doesn't know who they are for either. We did hear mom talking to a friend about something called a frolic. Does anyone know what a frolic is? There was a piece of paper on the table when we climbed up there and it had pictures of us ferrets and a bunch of typed stuff. here is what it said: 10th ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE AND FERRET FROLIC DATE: SEPTEMBER 07, 2013 TIME: 12:00 -- 5:00PM PLACE: 977 PLEASANTVIEW CT GARDNERVILLE, NV 89460 775-265-6744 Admission: $1 per person/per ferret Raffles, Silent Auctions, Ferret Games, Bake Sale, & Items for the human in your ferret's life for Sale.
