Several people have asked what I would like for christmas. I've thought long and hard on this question and finally found what I want. I'm hoping that many of you can help make my wish come true. I would like for everyone that has room for just one or two more ferrets (or dog or cat) to visit a ferret shelter (or dog/cat shelter) and adopt a companion or two or three or... Some shelters won't adopt out at this time but that's o.k. because you can 'reserve' your ferret(s) (or dog/cat) and take them home after the holiday. That gives you time to prepare and won't cause the new one a lot of stress of the holiday activities. If you don't have room for more ferrets (or dog/cat), perhaps you can find the time, even if it is only an hour, to help out at a shelter near you. If there are no ferret shelters near you, then ask at the dog/cat shelters/pounds. The animals will be so greatful for your attention and care. That's it. A simple wish. Can you help make my wish come true? Please? I do ask one thing though, before you help make my wish come true, please be sure that it is what you really want to do. Hugs and happy holidays to all. tle [Posted in FML issue 2529]
