a special job assignment. Our expertise is needed

to help run a raffle for one of our shelter volunteers.

Miss Cathy is such a worry wart, she is ascared

heating oil is going to cost a lot of monies so she

wants some in reserve so we don’t need human coats

on our fur to stay warm. And if WE are getting cold

you know our Mum will be living in the deep freeze!

So we have to help her put this thing together.



******SPECIAL BULLETIN******



Sweet Hearts and Pink Flamingos

Round Two, Raffle Package One

Tickets are $3.00 each or 3 tickets for $8.00





This raffle package comes all the way from Florida.

Priscilla G. and Rhonda C. created the human-interest items,

while Miss Trixie and Possum’s sweetheart and hunk of a

ferret, Mr. Ralphie handled ferret needs. I can only hope you

get as much pleasure from this package as Priscilla did

shopping, shooting pics and packing it up for a winner!

Contents in this raffle package include three handcrafted

items by Rhonda C.; a farm quilt scene, a quilted hanging

letter holder and a framed counted cross-stitch of a young

girl ice-skating.



If you too need to stay warm, you can snuggle in your choice

of fleece; a frog held fleece or a plaid fleece throw while

reading your copy of Ferrets for Dummies. Or perhaps snuggle

with your fuzzies when they grow tired from playing with

the rattle balls or multi-colored squeaky toy.

You can deck out your furball in a blue ferret t-shirt and a

green leash, harness or collar or watch them run free to

stuff the plush ferret, alligator and frog into a nearby

Hidey Hole! Yummy snackaroos like Super Fries,

Bandit Beef treats and TF treats may be enjoyed served

up in green food bowl decorated with Pink Flamingos!
