Hello I am new on the FML, I have heard about it and wanted to participate. I recently came back from a trip to Kirkland, Illinois from Flagstaff, Arizona. I went to Kirkland to visit my furchildren who are staying at Zoo's Ferret Sanctuary. I had not seen them for a year, and it was such a wonderful reunion. I love them so much! They are in a wonderful place, and Zoo is a wonderful person. I was there cleaning cages and and helping in anyway I could, I had a years worth of volunteering to do in two weeks, so I really put forth an effort, I owed it to Zoo and to my ferrets, and all the ferrets under Zoo's care. Because, I love all ferrets, and I feel they are badly misunderstood, and treated, by so many people. I am already planning another trip to Kirkland in May, depending on many things. I have only been back for a week and already, it seems all I can think about is my ferrets, all the ferrets, and helping Zoo. I am wondering more and more if my place is to go there permanently and be there for the ferrets and Zoo. She and the ferrets need more caring people to volunteer if just for a short time a day or two a week it would be a tremendous help. I am praying a lot to God about this and looking forward to my next visit with my furkids and Zoo! Thank you Zoo just for being who you are, and especially for what you do....God Bless you and the ferrets! [Posted in FML 7984]
