Wednesday I pick up my little sweeties and I'm sssooo excited I can barely sit still!!! These are my first suggies but not my "first" suggies lol I've been in rescue one way or another for almost 35 years now (I'm a retired surgical vet tech and Deputy Sheriff) but never small exotics until a friend of mine who does ferret rescue was involved in a huge rescue in Titusville, Florida. A man was "breeding" for several local pet stores. A neighbor complained about the smell, the officials came out and found hundreds and hundreds of "pocket pets" in the most deplorable conditions you can imagine in several sheds in his back yard. They had too many pets and not enough fosters, she called me up and of course I couldn't say no lol I just fell in love! I helped out for several years after that anytime anything like that came around and they needed a hand never adopting my own for some reason. I retired and moved back to Ohio to be with family. Recently I saw where a very nice woman needed to rehome 2 unneutered males, she already had a female and unneutered male but couldn't afford the neuters for all of them. Now, since I'm settled down and retired, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Luckily one of the vets I worked with when I was the program coordinator for a local spay and neuter clinic is able to do the neuters!!! So, soon, very soon (3 days but who's counting lol) I'll be a real suggie mom!!! I can't wait!
