Merry Christmas to everyone, Happy Holidays, from Critterpen Rescue. Our ten little darlings are blissfully sleeping with visions of treats dancing in their dreams. All the rescues are jolly, fat and healthy now and I think that those who started life with bad experiences have forgotten them. I have been struggling to publish my web page. Still some funny little markings that I haven't figured out how to get rid of, but The Ferrety Christmas Card is there and is a free download for any who want it. http://home.earthlink.net/~critterpen/index.html Anyone who was one AOL last year may already have it. Originally, this picture was done in colored pencil and I still have the original. The one on the website is a digital painting using Painter 4. No scanning devices or input of any kind except what I did with Painter 4 tools. Also on the website is a cutout from the painting of our beloved R2D2 who succumbed to insulinoma early in this year and is no longer here to steal the candy canes. I hope the tree at the Rainbow Bridge has a few for him to steal. Every now and then an extra special ferret comes to live in a house. R2 or Twoeey, as we called him, was that ferret. He is the reason that childproff locks are on every cabinet door and and drawer, and hooks and eyes are on other things he could get into. Once he got into the refrigerator and rolled a dozen eggs out on the floor and played with them until they broke. -- The Critterpen by Chemayn Cheryl M.
