Simple words could never express our heartfelt gratitude for an obvious love we all share for the fuzzies yet, your love was exemplified in the form of the much needed donations, donations that have become the oil for the rusty hinges on every shelter / rescue door out here. Thank you so Very, Very much to each and every one of you for enabling us to keep our doors open for those who need our services. When Judith notified us that a check had been sent to our vet from SOS well, I called DD, Cheryl and Shannon to share the wonderful news. My Mother would say,"Tears cleanse the soul." In my Mother's infinite wisdom she forgot to add,"Happy tears will lift the spirit to immeasurable heights enabling you to overcome all obstacles in the way." It would not be a stretch of the imagination to say that, tonight the Brevard Ferret Lovers Rescue Inc. could float Disney's new ship on happy tears all the way to China. Through the generosity of the SOS sponsors a down payment will be made to descent and neuter an 8 mo. old / albino / 4.25 lb. gentle giant male [Snowden} who has a family with a 9 yr. old son just waiting in the wings for him. This young man and his family paid a visit to the rescue just day's before Christmas [we don't do Christmas adoptions] and fell head over heals in love with Snowden. While Mom, Dad and big sis were chatting with DD and Cheryl I watched Josh hold and cuddle one of our older, fussier, adrenal gentleman [Albi also albino]. Josh was astonishingly gentle, lying perfectly still [in a position that would inflame my lower lumbar] and stroked and whispered to a very content Albi for what must have been nearly 20 minutes. There was no doubt in my mind what so ever that, Josh had the touch and Snowden was going to get the perfect Daddy. So you see, you're Love and Generosity combined, has created a miracle. God Bless Each and Every one of You. I Have Found In You A Ferret Friend Forever Marie E. Wallace Director Of Community Awareness Brevard Ferret Lovers Rescue Inc. [Posted in FML issue 2549]
