Art Work donated by Sue Burda

The estimate for the roof is just over $10.000.00. A complete tear off is required before the new one can go on.

On July 21 and 22, 2007 the ferret club had a huge yard sale to benefit us kids here at the shelter. Miss Kristie hosted it at her house; there were some really cool collector items that have been donated to us to make money. We need a new roof, and Miss Kristie is determined to get us one. (her words not mine) She says it is going to get fixed or else. I am not sure what “or else” means but I do know that when it rains we get mighty wet. Mum had strong like bull Trevor put blue things on our roof to keep it from leaking but we need more blue things to do that. Susie Q

The yard sale was a huge success, it brought in $607.00.

When we were cleaning it all up on Sunday Miss Cathy R said she would take it to her house and have a sale there for the shelter! Then there is going to be another at our house the weekend of the grape Festival the end of September.

Mum says that when Miss Kristie said she was going to get us a new roof she had no idea that’ that goal was going to take on a life of its own. We may not have to get wet feet this winter after all. When it gets cold then warm again. Mum calls that a thaw, we call it a pain because we get wet feet, and it is {{{{{{COLD}}}}}} in the winter time. Summer time is not so bad we get to play in the wet like a pool. Till mum puts a trash can under it or sops it up with news papers. Possum
