DMK Ferret Rescue

For any animal lovers out there this post is sad and at the same time it amazes me to see people who don't know each other come together. There is a ferret breeder in Ohio that organizations having been trying to close down for years. Due to whatever circumstance, this is finally happening. The ferrets are breeders and have been caged out doors in the elements in cramped filthy quarters. Often the water would freeze during the winter and the ferrets would have to lick ice to get their water intake. Food was just tossed into the cages. These ferrets pose special problems, they are unsocialized, underweight, have never slept in a warm cozy bed, need health shots , are not desexed or demusked and jills(females) taken in could very well be pregnant. I have put out a call to Florida shelters and have made contact with people setting up transport lines. There are 850 ferrets in need of care and I can only hope that we as a Florida ferret community can take in some of these babies What has me awed is the way people have come together to donate time and money. Transport volunteers are being set up from north to south and east to west. Shelters and individuals are trying to spread these ferrets out across the country so there is no heavy burden in one place. It seems to be coming together. Truck loads of goods have been shipped to the main rescue and donations are coming in....more are needed. Supposedly Walmart and several ferret stores are giving discounts if you ship to Lori Sies of Ferrets Dream Shelter. Can you imagine finding 850 ferrets homes and not one having to be put down for lack of space to stay. .

Random Act of Kindness

Have you ever done anything out of kidness, thought it was a very small and uniportant act, only to find out the receiver of the act was so moved and blown away that they cried and gushed thank yous to no end and told everyone else what you did, and they in turn were blown away?

I just did.
I never expected such a reaction. I didn't think it was any big deal.
But she did.
Wow, I have been left with my mouth agape.

Quick Quips

Why is it that when you tell friends / family that money is tight, they don't really listen and want you to go all over the place spending money?

Peter is back living in my home and under the impression that my truck is community property (I put an end to that) and thinks he doesn't have to help out around the house. If he gets that job at Sunstar, he can start paying rent if he doesn't want to help. If he doesn't get that job he can either help out or go live with nana.

I am so ready for this hot weather to go away. I want the cool weather so I can open up the windows and have cook outs with friends over.

Is anybody else tired of seeing commercials for feminine products, natural male enhancement products and ED meds as much as me. I wish they would just take them off the air.

Why don't parents teach their kids how to dress....oh wait I guess they would have to know how to dress as well.... I hate seeing chubby girls is teeny weeny tops that shows belly. I also don't understand why parents let their daughters dress like sluts. What is with words being printed across your ass? Juicy..... hot..... sweet....etc...... all that makes me think is easy and trashy.

Will sports franchises ever put moral clauses in their contracts and uphold them? I am so sick of thugs, rapists, thieves, druggies, and wife abuser getting paid huge salaries to play sports and the law and team owners just looking the other way. Guess that's why I don't support professional sports much any more.
