Got a phone call at work yesterday and it was the NH SPCA. She called to tell me that our Blossom had won a full page spot on their 1999 calendar. What a nice surprise. I had taken up several rolls of film trying to get pictures of Blossom and Flower to enter in the calendar contest. Flower may have her picture too but a little corner one. Anyone interested in supporting the NH SPCA the calendars will I think be $10. Of course the money helps support the shelter. They are very good with the ferrets and place several a month. We are very proud of our Blossom. Everyone is getting their winter coats and putting on winter fat. What a fuzzie bunch! One of the little girls we rescued a couple weeks ago and placed with a neighbor has a swollen vulva. She is about 11/2 or 2 years old. She has no hair loss or any signs of sickness. The swelling was within two days time. Seems sudden. I am gathering all info to help them out but the vet is not sure without surgery if it is adrenal. Seems young but suppose not impossible. I don't think surgery is an option at this time. Will keep you all posted. Hug your ferrets today. Penny [Posted in FML issue 2449]
