Quick Quuips

I have learned to care for one of my ferrets in a way I thought I never would. Sir Woozle has had one of his kidneys fail and in order to keep his other one healthy he needs sub Q fluids. I have learned give him his daily fluids. I was apprehensive at first even though I have been giving Angel monthly shots for a while now. Somehow the thought of daily sticking my ferret was a bit nerve racking, however after nearly 2 weeks its not so bad. I bribe him with treats and he really doesn't even notice what I am doing. Once finished he goes on his merry way like nothing even happened. I have noticed a huge difference in his behavior. He has become playful once again and his coat is no longer yellow but a very nice white. Its amazing what we learn to do when we really love our pets.

I feel like I am in a rut and I can't get out. Day in and day out its always the same thing. Its kind of gotten me depressed and I wish something would happen to make life in general terms...worth the hassle. *sigh*

The electricity went out last weekend and its amazing how quiet it gets. Things can be quiet, but once the electronics are no longer whirring, lights aren't humming, and there is no whish from the AC unit......quiet takes on a whole different meaning. It also occurred to me that I hear more children's voices and chatter outside when the electric is out. Its a shame that it takes an outage to get kids outside nowadays.

Why is it when people do something that is good, and a kind act, there are always those that have to criticize, belittle and degrade the act or the person who performed the act? As an example, the large ferret rescue that I got Liberty from..........the gal that headed it up gave completely of herself and went into personal debt to rescue and disperse over 700 ferrets. Yes she got a lot in donations, but not enough. Now people are simply tearing her apart because they felt she did it wrong, they don't like her accounting of the funds and how they were dispersed, she didn't do this and she didn't do that.......... I don't get it at all............... if you have questions or suggestions then why not approach the person? Why do people attack someones character and integrity? God bless the people that commit random acts of kindness and tackle huge projects to better the lives of human and animals.
