          Hi Kat,
          I got the sleepy pod in the mail yesterday and I LOVE it! So do the little ones, of course, lol. My deafie actually jumped in it and started dooking which he has never done over anything else so I know he really likes it.

          Have a fabulous day!

          The Disposable Ferret

          Vickie McKimmey

          Ferrets require a good deal of commitment and responsibility. Many people do not realize the care and commitment a ferret requires until it is too late. They think they can simply let it loose once they tire of it, or they think an animal shelter can provide it a home.

          Our disposable society has created a new commodity: the disposable ferret. Over the years the homeless ferret population has skyrocketed due to the following reasons: lack of commitment on the part of the pet owner, the belief that ferrets are disposable, the misconception that ferret shelters can take care of all unwanted ferrets and overstocking pet stores with baby ferrets for the uneducated pet buyer for the ease of an impulse purchase.

          People may buy a ferret for several reasons: They want company, they want a cute baby ferret kit, it would be nice for the children, or they get a ferret as a present. The novelty of a ferret quickly wears off once the owner realizes the ferret requires commitment - food, water, shots, time, medical care, and attention.

          Once an owner doesn't want the ferret they may think they can simply let it loose. Ferrets left in the street to fend for themselves have a life expectancy of less than a week. They will die of starvation, overexposure, be killed by another animal or get hit by a car. Ferrets are domestic animals; they are used to being taken care of and their survival instincts are poor. On their own, they are not able to survive.

          The truth is that for every twenty ferrets in need of a home, there is only one person willing to adopt. The rest will be sent to animal shelters and will ultimately be destroyed. Because of the overcrowding at local animal shelters and because most have no clue how to care properly for a ferret, ferrets that are brought in are usually destroyed. This has lead to home based ferret shelters.

          The biggest problem with home based ferret shelters is that the shelter moms and dads are human. They all at one time or another get sick, tired (or sick and tired), burned out, or have families issues to deal with. Sometimes it's just getting older. In reality they are all only one illness, family crisis or accident away from becoming a headline.

          How many ferrets does your local ferret shelter have? How many dead ones are in their freezer waiting for the spring thaw to be buried or to have enough to take a bulk amount to the local crematorium? How many shelters are run by just one person? What happens if that person is in an accident on the way home or breaks a leg or gets cancer?

          Replace the word shelter above for ferretry and shelter operator to ferret breeder. Replace shelter with ferret owner with many ferrets. How close are you to becoming a headline???

          Ferret owners, breeders and shelter operators need to keep in touch with each other. Everyone needs to have a plan and that plan needs to be kept up to date. Planning for the unexpected will help to keep you from becoming the next headline.

          GREAT new Bedding by Florence Love!!!!

          Ferret in the Flowers

          I am just SO excited about this "Ferret in the Flowers" print [of an original Painting by Alicia Drakiotes.] that I got!!!! She sells the prints at her E-bay Store. It comes unframed or matted...but all I did was go to Hobby Lobby and get the matte [$1.95] and they had their open wood frames on sale for 1/2 price!!!...so the frame and matte cost me less than $12.00!!!!
          So for a great price, you could have a beautiful framed and matted Ferret painting [print] of Alicia's...and my!!...is she talented!!!!
          Just click either the picture or where it says E-bay Store to get one of your own!!!...OR...give it as a gift!!!!..."Ferret in the Flowers" is not the only print she has...there is also "Sable Ferret".

          I really AM excited about my picture...Art is a passion of mine..and this is just wonderful!

          ***
          The wonderful delightful "Ferret in the Flowers", Mr Shadow, quick as you please, a ton of love & energy is afflicted with lymphoma and it has attacked the kidneys. We did not realize the cause initially of his renal failure, sadly as he exhibited pain we looked to uncover the cause.
          Much as his brother, Mickey Moose, left this earth-- this is the battle my Shadow and I are fighting. We will end this battle at 3 PM Monday, March 14th, 2005, so those who are able to light a candle for his passage over the bridge, I will be ever grateful.

          Shadow's face graces the print which is on ebay and has been supporting the shelter here-- we have only a limited number on hand -- and I have decided that we will not print more. now is your time to collect the fanciful DEW face!

          In the future .. I will just have to find another wonderful child in the future to paint - but for now I will grieve.
          Thanks for understanding, I am sure that I will write a trbute but now it's time to cuddle.
