(A few months ago someone posted a news article on the FML about a military man that loved ferrets that had just died in Afghanistan. He and his wife lived in California and they had pics of him with his ferrets. We did a bit of research and got their address and sent a message to his widow letting her know that the Crafty Weasels wanted to give her a gift for her ferrets to honor her husband who had died on foreign soil so far away from his ferret family.

This is the message that we received.)

This Nikki Barnett and I just wanted to say thank you so much for the ferret beds! Kodo, Angus and Mickey absolutely love the beds. I put them in right away and all 3 immediately left their old beds and have been using yours since. I was so touched by your gift to them, our ferrets were Scott's favorite pets. We were waiting until after his time in the Army was done before we had kids of our own so our pets are our children. Scott would be so happy to know that somewhere out there someone was thinking about his beloved ferrets enough to make them beds that they are so happy with.

Our first ferret, Kodo, the white ferret, was his baby and Scott was always so worried about him and as he got older when Scott was away in training Scott would ask me to check on him before bed each night and make sure he was warm enough because he was always so worried about him. Kodo has taken a liking to the hanging hammock you sent, he loved his hammock but he also loved to hide in fleece fabric so this one provides him with both of his favorite things and keeps him very warm. When I look into the cage and see him curled up in it with only his little face sticking out all I can picture is Scott's smiling face because I know he is looking down happy that someone out there other than me understood his bond with our ferrets. Thank you again for the beds, that was very sweet of you to send them. To me and Scott that would be just like someone sending a quilt to a child who lost a parent and I can't thank you enough, the ferrets really enjoy them.

Thanks again!

The box arrived yesterday!! I love everything!! And that shoulder sack will come in handy because I have a lot of sick ferrets that I carry around all day in my arms. I can’t even express how much I appreciate this. Everything is made so well and they are so cozy.

I’m going to show the bedding to the people that adopt from me, I’m going to give them your card, and I’m going to recommend that they contact you to purchase their bedding. I’m also going to post a thank you on my website to all of you, and I’m going to put a link on my site directly to your site.

Please thank everyone that helped out. I really, really appreciate all of their hard work and dedication.

Sincerely,
Lorri

Thank you so much, all of it was beautiful and much needed. I am so glad and I know the ferrets are just loving it. It came in great time as I just helped another rescue that is downsizing and I received some of her babies bringing my total to 28 ferrets. What you do is such a God send and the rescue is loving it. Keep up the great work and God bless all of you.

Thank You Thank You Thank You to Crafty Weasels of Georgia!! :-)

We received a huge box of wonderful sleep sacks, pouches etc. from them today for our elderly & ill ferrets! Our precious babies will be snoozing in comfort now!!

We get an extra warm & fuzzy feeling inside thinking of the kind people who reach out and care- helping us care for the furries that need us!

Thank you!
Beth

[Regarding a donation to help with their raffle] We had no idea we were receiving them and were so surprised!!!! They are soo nice and we're very very pleased w/the quality and the thoughtfulness that u sent them to us.they glow w/all the love that is sewn into them. We would looove to keep them ourselves. (that is the hard part of all of these wonderful donations)...but we're not going to allow ourselves participation since it is to help us. Whoever decided to stick that whippy 3 ended thing made out of fleece caused a chaotic free for all that has lasted a week in this house. Lol!!. The fursnakes (even the 10 yr old one) are actually FIGHTING over it. I am having a hard time keeping it where I know where it is . Lol..ya'll have no idea how much joy you have brought the babies here w/that thing. What is it called? Lol. I so wish I could sew. Thank you soo much and your hand/paw made thank you card is in the mail already.

xoxo Susie

Please forgive me for not contacting you sooner to thank you & let you know that the donation package of goodies arrived safe & sound weeks ago! I have been without internet access & am disabled. My sincere thank you for all of the fabulous new sleep sacks, toys & medical supplies! All were put into use immediately! Had been awhile since my business had received fancy new fleece lined hammies & sleep sacks & I have 14 ferts that love ya'll very much for your gracious donation & for thinking of us & providing us with such needed aid! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Can't thank you enough!

Again, just really wanted you to know what a great help y'all are to us out here! My babies are sleeping warm & cozy tonight because of your help! Thank you again so very very much for all the lovely things for my shelter & our 14 babies! God bless you & have a merry Christmas & happy holiday season!

Sincerely,
Jennifer Lackey

We have received the bedding and we greatly appreciate it!!! I took it to the meeting last night and everyone was very happy with it! Some of it was passed to our foster parents and the rest came back to me as I am the one with the most ferrets going in and out of the shelter. Also when we adopt out if a ferret has a favorite hammock or sack we always try to send it along with them to their new home. We feel it helps them with the transition of a new home. Not sure if it really does but we like to think so. Bedding is always in great need because of that.

We will put the sling to test on Sunday at our fundraiser. Our little Winken will be the test subject for it. He is an older guy and blind as can be. He loves to snuggle.

Again BIG THANKS to everyone who donates their time and talents to the ferret cause! We sincerely appreciate it!

Crystal L. Walko

We received our package and wanted to thank you for all your hard work. The bedding is all so beautiful.

Thank You!!! All of the fuzzies at Dodger's Den thank you too. They love their new bedding. I used the sling last week with an older fuzzy (Amber) that was under the weather. I loved it because she was with me all the time, and I was able to tend to the others without leaving her. A thousand thank yous.

Thank you so much and God Bless,
Bevis, Theresa & our 17 fuzzies

Thank you again ladies. Here are a few pics of the kids enjoying some of the beautiful bedding you sent, and they all send their love and thanks

God Bless You Sweet Angels
Tim

OMG but this is AWESOME bedding as usual. Such lovely colors & soft/warm hammies/sacks to match. My crew is ever so thankful to all you caring ladies.

The sling for the sick baby is just a blessing.It will sure be used & I wish I'd had it with Nancy. This will help so many shelter ops out there.

To all of the Crafty Weasels, many heartfelt thanks go to you for all the love you put into the bedding. And it sure holds up to many washings.

Sandi Robinson

Box arrived! So many beautiful things in it, we are in overwhelm. I intended to get a note off to you right away but had a family crisis over the weekend and have been mostly on the road the last few days. Please accept our electronic thanks in the meantime.

I wanted to let you guys know I received the box of bedding today, and I am speechless. The ferrets are not however, and they are sending you many dooks of excitement and delight!!!!

This is an amazing and wonderful thing that you guys are doing to help, and it means more to me than you can imagine. At times you see so many bad things with the way people treat their pets, it is easy to forget how much good is out there too. Thank you for helping to remind me that there are many truly caring people out there. Caring people who truly want to help, and I thank you for that.

I give bedding out with each ferret that goes to a new home so they take something familiar and comforting with them. Doing this I truly believe is a good thing, helping them adjust to their new home while retaining something familiar, but it does at times get expensive. It is worth it though, and this wonderful box filled with bedding will help so much! Thank you guys so much, it will be put to very good use.

Daphne

All I can say through happy tears is God Bless Y'all. I could not believe all of the beautiful bedding and the eggs that you sent; you all are truly A God send, words cannot express enough how much your love and caring for us means .. I know God holds A special place in Heaven for each and every one of you Angels .. I can never Thank you enough and the kids are going to love it God Bless all you Crafty Weasels and Thank You For Loving Us ..

Package Attacked by Bandits!

I Just received your box of goodies. WOW! I had no idea. This is a gift from heaven for me. The sacks and bedding I have is over 5 to 12 years old and nothing is free of snag strings. Your bundle of love is just what my kids need. Thank you all. I have attached some pictures of the fuzzies pulling out the goodies and digging in the box.

David B. Brokaw

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I am SOOOO glad that you contacted me! We DID receive it, it is awesome! You guys just rock!

Stacey and the fuzzy bunch

I got the bedding today and oh my gosh! It's gorgeous! Thank you SO MUCH! That's just so awesome that you are out there doing this for shelters! I'll have to get some pictures of it in use to send.

Thanks again!

Kevin @ WFRS

Hi,

I received the bedding just the other day. What a packed box! Thanks so much, the shelter kids are going to love it all, plus the toy!

Paula Woodland

Thank you so much for the bedding!! It is gorgeous! All my guys and gals will love it!!! It is so thick and soft, my little naked ones will especially appreciate it! (and I have a LOT of little naked ones!) Again, thank you SO much!!! You have made a lot of little fuzzies (and a couple of shelter parents) very happy!!!!

Crafty Weasels has the Rezweezil seal of approval! The kiddos had a wonderful time exploring their new pile of bedding, and several crawled into the middle of the pile and snuggled right in. They remind me of quilts that a friend of mine's mother used to make--cozy and homey and radiating love. I feel it and I know the ferrets do too. Thanks so much! What a wonderful group you have.

Right now, I've got two former single biter girls who are slowly doing a chase through one of the sacks. See, Noel really, really wants to make friends with Goody, but Goody doesn't want to have anything to do with her. So Noel waits until Goody is asleep and then starts grooming her like crazy. Goody keeps batting at her and edging away without really waking up, and Noel just edges along with her. They've gone in and out and along the width of their tapestry sack a few times now!

Clover and the rezweezils

WOW!!! I only expected 2 or 3 hammocks but this huge package arrived in the mail just loaded with all sorts of bedding! Wonderful bedding and ramp covers. The ferrets had to help of course and one of the new kids chose his instantly. I can't thank your group enough for being so generous and caring to do this work.

sincerely
vikki mick

Thank you for the huge bag of bedding! It came today and what a treasure trove. I will be sharing it with our other foster moms and dads. You all do wonderful work.

Carol J. Owens

Just wanted to let you know that we received the package of bedding today. We cannot thank you enough for all you have done for us and what you do for other rescues. Everything looks great and we are anxious to place them in our cages for our rescues. We appreciate the time you all took to give our rescues a soft place to sleep.

With touched hearts, we are...
Matthew and Lee

I can not say thank you enough.. with flooding 3 times in 6 months we've really had our hands full keeping things clean and constantly gutting and rebuilding the house... sigh... hopefully we're done for awhile and can get on with out lives...

BUT whatever happens... both the furkids and I are very thankful and grateful for the beautiful bedding you guys have shared with us...

Wishing you guys the very best...

(Posted later the same day)

Oh I only hope you ladies and guys will understand from my words how truly grateful we are AND just how much we love this stuff... IT'S Gorgeous and the ferrets have moved right in - they LOVE IT...

Please share any of my words in any order so everyone will know that their efforts have a profound positive impact on this Rescue, Rescuer, and Rescued...

Oh and I know this is not ferret related but the dogs and cats - those that still fit also enjoy the bedding. - I know - I gush - I'm sorry...

Thanks again...

Vicki Montgomery

Oh my the bedding has arrive and its just gorgeous.... I can't thank you ladies & guys enough. The kids are going to love it. As its still cold here..... Once again thank you and all the wonderful people that do this.

Vickie Lusk

Hello

We would like to THANK YOU for the beautiful bedding sets and hammocks we received. We appreciate the time and the kindness that went into each and every piece. The ferrets are enjoying them so much !

To all of those who made it possible-Karen, Chuck, Florence, Julie, Dyna, Dawn, Ann, Adrian, Lesley, Brad, Donna, Sue & Norma-you guys did wonderful work for our kids.

As you know, we are a sanctuary for unadoptable ferrets who are elderly, ill, handicapped and those who have suffered abuse. The sanctuary will be their forever home. The lovely hammocks & sleepy sacks that you all have made will make their lives all that much sweeter- whether they will be with us for 6 months, or 6 years.

We Thank You for choosing Angie's Song to receive such a lovely & beautiful gift.

All The Best,
Rose Bruce & all of the fuzzies
