For those who have generously taken the time to write a note and/or send a dollar (or a donation of Timmy's Tonic, pellets, a check for cash, etc), we at Kansas Ferret Association thank you for your kindness and generosity. The kindness of these donations has made quite a difference in keeping us going this month despite license renewal fees, membership renewal time, and a few health issues that caught us by suprise. Our little Robin Hood continues to recover slowly. He has now regained his alert mental state, but his rear end is much slower to respond. We are beginning to seek rehabilitation strategies for getting his rear legs to recover from what appears to be an atrophy condition. Any information would be gratefully accepted, as would any NutriCal, Totally Ferret, or items which could help him recover. The shelter has recently decided that our elderly dot-matrix printer has passed its prime of life, and is looking for someone who might be upgrading from a still-useful ink-jet or laser printer and is willing to donate such an item. Thank you, BIG for your patience with all of us who care so deeply about helping the ferrets who come to us. You faithfully continue to give us a place to communicate with each other so our benefactors can have better lives. While I'm at it, I have to comment on Bob Church's contribution. There is a tremendous value in reading the information this man puts together, and whoever he is, I assume he kinda likes ferrets. The man has infinite patience it seems, and an ability to allow everyone to take what they want and leave the rest - or whatever else they might do - without becoming entangled in personal wars in public places. I commend you, Mr. Church. I hope there is room for thank you's to those folks who continue to share their experience and hope despite personality conflicts. I've had the pleasure of meeting the Killians, and I've learned from them that it's ok to have a different opinion. We can still work together for the good of the ferrets. All the best - Julie from Kansas Ferret Association [Posted in FML issue 2317]
