Well, the economy has gone down the tubes and taken the shelter with it. We are officially broke. After the vet cashes the last check, we will have under $100 in the bank. The credit card is nearly maxed . . .

I had one of the worst surrenders in my tenure as a shelter mom this evening. This is Jillybean. She didn't have a name when she arrived, so that's what I gave her. It seems to fit. . . .

Okay, what do you think of this idea?

The shelter is in desperate need of cleaning, but I was just too tired to do it last night. So here I am at work again, slaving away, when I get an email from my credit card company. Seems someone has . . .

I got this email message in my shelter today. Maybe I'm overly suspicious, but this sort of sounds like a setup to me ...

Another message from someone in another group:

I took some photos at Halloween, and one of the subjects was a shelter ferret named Faye. We stuck a cape and a princess hat on her and she wasn't all that thrilled. It looked like it had some possibility. . . .

This story comes to you via a different ferret shelter. I thought it was funny enough that I'd post it here for your amusement.

One of the ferrets in my shelter was named Sonic Boom. He was named that because he ran around so fast, I almost heard a sonic boom every time he went past. He was a happy, happy, happy ferret.

PETCO to carry 30% fewer ferrets. It's not completely what I'd like (which is for pet stores to STOP carrying ferrets) but it's better. The shelters are being flooded with rescue ferrets . . .
