I just want to say my hats off to shelter people. I could never do what you do. I love the ferrets, but I could not do it. I did my first volunteer at a shelter last saturday. Wow what an eye opener. The shelter mom had 32 ferrets. Big cages lots of poop. I spent 3 hrs cleaning cages and then we cut nails. I will go back and help again because I think I made a difference or I hope I did. Even if it only gave her time to fix a new cage (which she was doing) or just sitting and watching tv she deserves the time out. She had a great place for the ferrets to play, she knew all of their names, and I saw lots of dorking and lots of fights and lots of poop haha. I will also save my used towels and stuff for her. I never thought of how much bedding it takes for shelters. Next time I will bring supplies too. So maybe if you have a couple of extra hrs you too can help a shelter, it was hard work but well worth it. Lydia and the Crew Isis Snickers Casper Bubba [Posted in FML issue 2722]
