Allo everybody
Again thank you to all of you who take the time and the courage to
write to me sharing their happiness as their tears of sorrow. Thank
you also for all those very nice words and compliments concerning my
photography. But you you know, the models did all the work, a very
good job. Without my models, there will be no soul on my work.
And now ... yes there is a new angel in my life. The spca called me
telling me they had a beautiful and gentle abandonned ferret. I know
nothing about him, no information.
He had an appointment with my vet and he is perfectly healthy! Yeah!
I named him Sweet Pea! He is approximatively 2 years old. My vet gave
him the vaccine and also the Deslorelin implant.
Sweet Pea isn't litter trained, but do in the same spot. If I put the
litter pan at this spot, my intelligent little boy push it to make his
poops and pee back the litter pan! lol
At our first time at the SPCA, when I took him in my arms he put his
head in my neck and didn't move all the time during the papers and
forms...He fell aslepp in my harms. He adopted me for sure. There
was also no doubts in my headabout what I was doing.
And Voila! I know one day I will again be in a big sorrow, but I
will try to live one day by day and thank the life for what it is
given to me.
Doodle, Lil Bear, Nahum, Anika, Cody, Apollo are still in my heart as
the others pets who shared their so precious life with me. Their pain,
sorrow and loud cries are wounds on my heart and the scars will never
disapear.
Again thank you to each of you who have supported me in this tragic
time in my life.
With Love,
Marie-Agnes and Sweet Pea

When there is no more ferrets ?
When there is no more ferrets?
Hi everybody,
I want to know if some people have been in similar situation that mine,
and what way they took...
I lost my last little girl Doodle, one month ago. She was 7 and was
insulinoma and lymphoma. I helped her to cross the rainbow bridge to
stop her pain...
I get my first ferret from a petshop 10 years ago, it was the April 1st
2003, he was a kit of 10 weeks. I named him Nahum. And I adopted Anika
from the Ottawa' rescue. And came in my life Appolo and Cody ... And
came this adorable Lil Bear and then Doodle.
I lost them because illness, heart disease (Nahum), heart attack
(Appolo), adrenal (Cody) Lymphoma (Anika) Brain cancer (Lil Bear)
and Insulinoma and lymphoma (Doodle).
Each time I lost one, there were a little another one still alive and
needing me and waiting after me.
I bought only Nahum (at this time I knew nothing about ferrets) and
Anika (I knew a little more).
Appolo, Cody, Lil Bear and Doodle were all given to me time to time.
When Nahum crossed the bridge, he joined Anika, Appolo and Cody, those
3 already left me.
And stays only Lil Bear with me.
And I said no more ferret, Lil Bear will be the last one. It is too
hard to go through ...
Time passed ...
And I get a phone call from my veterinary about Doodle. Her previous
human mom was sick (liver cancer)
It took me more than 2 weeks to think about this little girl. My mind
said no, my heart didn't know. I talked a lot with ferrets people from
a forum where I belong... and people convinced me to take her, saying
that it was Nahum's sign.
Omg it was a sign from Nahum for sure ! She looked as Nahum but in a
girly way. Same size, same color. She was certainly a gift of God,
she was the cream of cake.
2 years later ...
I lost my Lil Bear...I helped him to cross the bridge on March 08
after a long night of horrible seizures ... Do you ever hear a
ferret screaming? There is no word for to express how horrible it
is. At each seizure there were those screams coming from his soul.
I am not able to talk about this and still crying to write this.
And then, my Sweet Doodle on July 08 ...
Not only my heart is broken, it is all me who is broken.
It is like I am punished for to have been so loved by those angels.
I am a lonely woman, since 10 years only my ferrets shared life with
me with my dog Charly who left me 4 years ago and my cat Basile who
passed in April.
Now it is with big anxiety that I come back to home, my empty home,
with big anxiety I go to my bed, empty and cold bed...
Empty cage, big tunnels, toys, beddings, carriers, fences, litter
pans, and those plenty bags of n bones, and jars of baby food and...
No more ferrets? Can we live with no more ferrets?
People says time helps to heal and that we need to keep the good
memories ...
At this time I only see darkness, I shall have wanted to die with
Doodle. I have pain, just crying all the time, but I want to cry my
babies because I love them. But in another side, I want the pain to
stop and wish to have never gone through all those deaths.
Does some of you say: no more ferrets!... and you are still with no
ferret?
And are ferrets from serious breeders without those illness that our
Canadians ferrets get in early age ?
Now that I wrote all this, I wonder why I did it
Anyway you are welcome to answer me privately if you prefers
Hug all your babies for me
Thank you

Helping Ferrets Shelters & Rescues ... Raffles & Auctions !
Each time when it is possible I help the Ferrets Shelters & Rescues with what I have in my hands.
For me it is : My photography. But YOU, if you want it, you can also help them, and I will explain you how.
So go and please read if you are interested . I don't want to sound presumptuous, I just wish motivate people to see how it can be easy to donate or to help and bring them to participate in a way or another. At this time I see shelters closing their doors, due to the bad economy which struggles them. How how sad, please think at all those little ferrets who need our help. But to help them we need first to help their special and precious moms and dads who are opening their heart to them to keep their shelter's door open.
Don't forget : To donate is to receive ! How gratifying can be to know that what you do is useful !

Don't forget : To donate is to receive ! How gratifying can be to know that what you do is useful !
Why do they need help and will always need it ?
Sadly a lot of ferrets are
abandoned for many reasons, some has been even abused and it happens to
see horrific stories. For some, previous owners discovered that to have a
ferret as pet, isn't for everybody, or there is also the new human baby
who is coming, or a moving in a new apartment where pets are not
allowed, in sad cases previous owners who is very sick (it is the story
of my little Doodle, her previous mom is fighting a liver cancer. Doodle
was given directly to me by her previous mom) and there is also owners
with the bad economy and hard time to get a decent job, who have no more
money to pay for the care of their ferrets.
Many reasons, each case is different, but for the "more fortunate"
ferrets, there is hopefully great people with the biggest heart to
rescue those little ones. Ferrets need a lot of care. Often very sick,
in bad condition, treatments and vet care are so very expensive.
Shelters don’t receive money for what they do. They are all volunteers.
Many of them have a day work, and all their free time goes to their
rescued little ones.
The ferret
community try by what they can to help to rise money for to pay the big
vet bills, the food, the vitamins, supplements, litters pans, news
papers pellets for the litter pans, beddings, hammocks, baskets, laundry
soap, paper towels, cleaning products, even a dryer's machine, and
more ...
Raffles & auctions are ones of great and pleasant solutions for to help a shelter to rise money.
But
there are also the "frolics" where all ferrets people meet each others,
with their owns ferrets or not (it is depending the event rules).
All ferrets must be up to date with their vaccines and recently negative ADV tested !
What is "Frolic" ?
: It is a family day all of fun and pleasure. There is all kinds of
funny games, involving ferrets and humans. Human food, cookies, cakes,
sandwiches, snack, beverages, a little fees for the entry, vendors,
raffles, auctions, silents auctions. Sometimes veterinaries are invited
and will give informations about medical things or about everything
ferret ... People will be dedicated for nails trims, ears cleaning for
the ferrets, for a small fee. There are also all kinds of contests for
what you can register your ferret for $1 or $2 : the most big boy, the
most big girl, more tiny boy, tiniest girl, longest tail, costume's
contest ... And everybody are putting there hands in those funny events,
and in the end of the day money will been happily counted and will be
used for the benefit of the ferrets Shelters for who the event was
organized.
That is for money and fun, but we can also help Shelters & Rescues by being their volunteers : to come on their place, and to be their "hands helper"
: clean the cages, clean the litter pans, make laundries, even to play
with the rescued ferrets ... help with the trip to the vet clinic ...
You can be also a "Ferret Sitting", or be a "Family care"
in the wait that the little ones find a forever home. It can be good
for those who can't have ferrets forever, and will help for the need of
"ferret fix" ;)
I think there is never End about how to help out !
Nobody are rich, me neither ...
and it is not all of us who have enough money for to be able to give out
... but not everything cost money ! How can you help ?
-
Share the words about raffles and events. If you are reading this, it
is because you have Internet access, so write a note in your blog if you
have one, or cross-post in forums where you belong, or in your
journals, your facebook and tweeter ...
It
will take just a few minutes of your time and will cost nothing to you.
One of your friends or a stranger reader can be interested and will be
perhaps able to help out. We never know ! so why not to try it :)
- If you have more time, ask the shelters in your area if they need hands helper, and become one of their volunteers.
-
If you have skills or talent in anything : offer it as prizes for their
Raffles and auctions and frolics. It is not obligatory to be ferret
related, humans need things too, even if they don't need it, they will
love to have it :P . Like I do with my photos (so I must to admit in my
case, it costs money for the printer and shipping, and in another sphere
it will perhaps cost you supplies, but not always if you have stock at
home) so : photos, crocheted, knitting, drawings, paintings, cooking,
maintaining their websites, make their flyers, business cards, craft-Art
...
You see ... ! ... it can be easy ! and I have always thought that a person has always one talent in something.
For now it is what I have in my head, I will add more when more ideas will come.
I did an open article about what I do myself to help out. If you are interested to see who I have already helped and with what please go there : how-to-help-ferrets-shelters-rescues
ENJOY !

Ferret Body Language Part 2
Part 1 is here : http://marie-agnesphotography.blogspot.com/2011/02/doodle-wants-to-be-ferret-queen.html
Definitively Petit Ours shows he is subjected (right word ?)
Doodle never turns her head, but will look at Petit Ours right in his eyes ...
Petit Ours turns his head...and don't want any confrontation...
Petit Ours head is turned, he has stopped eyes contact, but Doodle doesnt't !
My poor white little heart, now he turns his body ... Doodle is still on her position...
And voila ... Petit Ours goes away and Doodle chases him.
This picture was one after the others, Doodle is going under the couch, not sure why...Petit Ours is away, but Doodle seems to have adopted this place.
Look at her brushy tail...

ENJOY !
Doodle wants to be the Ferret Queen
Day 14 for Doodle, Petit Ours and me in our new life of together.
It is obvious that Princess Doodle want to be the Queen of the Castle.
Body language doesn't lie !
I will make my article in 3 parts because I have 23 pictures I really want to share with you.
Please don't be afraid or mad at me...
There were no harm, no blood, no poops flying everywhere, just body language... OK !
I was right here ready to jump on the middle of Petit Ours and Doodle.
For one week I have been very protective keeping both of them in my arms.
And finally I have a doubt ... perhaps they need to really show to each other their position.
So I gave it a try yesterday and again today...
And Doodle The Queen
Petit Ours sees Doodle and calmly wants to approach her. Look at the Doodle face, she seems outraged.
Petit Ours continues the approach, Doodle hisses, screams and opens her mouth...and
Here Petit Ours dodges the open mouth of Doodle, immediately Doodle goes away
Petit Ours is unsure about what to do. He doesn't move....
Petit Ours stays puzzled and Doodle is watching him ...
Quietly Petit Ours try again to approach Doodle... Time for me to let my camera on the floor and be right there.
Doodle has a brush tail ...

Who said Ferrets are Messy ??? I think Momma is crazy !!!
Hi to all my sweet lovers, it seems people loves me so much and want to see more of my ferret live.
That ok, I am so happy to receive compliments about how cuuuuuute I am !
Mommy is gone for a good part of the day, she wanted to go to the store IKEA she said.
She need a real chair, she is always on her old wood kitchen chair, even when she is on computer.
Her back is so painful, and it was about time, she starts to manage it. Medications isn't always enough.
And she needed 2 BIGS Frames, she searched everywehre, but didn't find it.
She even visited Mickael store, the specialist of Art and Frames...
But the cost will be really too much high ... something as more $400 for one frame !
She find the biggest frames at IKEA for $36 ca each !
She came back to home, and opened my cage, and pet me, but I was too much sleepy and didn't come.
Mommy didn't wait me, and started the work ALONE, bad mommy !
Mommy didn't know how to do ...
there were a plastic protector on the plexiglass, and she didn't remove it ! HAHAHA
So she removed the fine plastic film, and instalated the poster ...
Ya the knife was for to remove the cartboard ... mommy has no nails at all ...
Mommy tryed to make it right
And finally I am coming... OMG ... What a mess in there ... A storm ????
And people always says that ferrets are messy, I have the proof that humans are worse !!!
There are obstacles everywhere ! OK ... Inspection begins !!!
Humm, plastic ...
Plastic is always fun to sniff, to walk in it ...
Spoons ???? can you tell me what mom have done with spoons ?
And there is nothing in the spoons ... Crazy momma ...
It is that the frame, for what she made kilometers in the traffic. Ok sound great.
But what mom has framed ?
OMG... is this Nahum ??? oh boy he is so BIG !
But what I see there, Mommy !!!... there is still the name IKEA on here !!!
You are true Lil Bear, Mommy didn't know it had 2 linen of plastic film,
So I re-done all the framing processing, with the help of lill Bear of course.
I knew mommy will need MY help !
