Hi All, (No I am not dead just have been real darn busy, hope this little ditty makes up for my recent absense) I had to tell you all about the absolutely cutest thing my Shy-Shy (Shyla) did yesterday. I had finally gotten my package of Colloidal Silver from Silver Wings and Rocki needed her dose. I opened the box which was filled with the peanut type stuff only flat. I set the box on a chair and went in the bedroom to give Rocki her Honey Yummy as we call it. I came out and thought I heard a noise. Looked in the living room to see peanut stuff strewn all over around the chair's bottom. Problem was the box was still totally full up to the brim. I stood there a second very bewildered when all of a sudden; POP GOES THE WEASEL!!!!! Shy Shy popped up from down inside the box and her head was now sticking up above all the peanut stuff!! I died laughing and then ran like the speed of light for my camera. I got off 2 shots while she was still in the box and I hope they come out real good!! Of course I retrieved all the peanut stuff and put it definitely out of their reach!! ROTFL!!! FANG SHELTER has received another $15 donation which we are most grateful for. Rocki is doing very well and will stay on the Amoxi. for 2 more weeks then be off it one week so we can run a urinalysis and see if the infection is gone. If it isn't then we will have to do a culture and sensitivity test on it and determine exactly what bug we are dealing with. I have now been told by our esteemed Doc. Williams that just because the tests did not show kidney damage that is not 100% accurate. Apparently the kidney must be compromised 66% before the test shows it. So Rocki could have some damage that is below the 66%. If we only have to do the basic urinalysis it will run approx. $16 but if we have to also do a culture and sensitivity then the total will be more like $52!! This little one is gonna be worth a fortune!! Let me tell you tho that they, every one of them, are worth all the money and time and love that we give to them. I can't imagine sweet little Rocki having been left to eventually die. That is what the money you send to shelters really does guys, IT SAVES FERRET LIVES!! Sure some might get used for postage and all that but that is what has to happen to keep us alive too. The bulk of the money goes to medical care and as you can see one little ferret can wrack up quite a bill. We want to thank the special lady that just sent in the $15 donation and rethank all of you that have helped before. Rocki says she loves you each and every one and that if Mommy can't find the perfect home where they will be aware that she could have recurrent bladder infections then she plans to become FANG's mascot and live here forever. (Oh GREAT, how do I explain that to their Grandmother!!??) Anyway whenever you are feeling charitable or just feeling down send a donation to your favorite shelter because it will make you feel absolutely wonderful not to mention that you really make the shelter Mommy's day when you do that!!<GGG> THANKS ALL! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
