Framed Poem – Rescued

Donated by Sue Pyron
This poem, written by Sue Pyron, beautifully framed and measuring 8 1/2 x 11, is the story of a little ferret, abandoned in a hot home, left to fend for himself. A young child comes to his aid and takes him to a shelter. She comes back to the shelter later to find that he remembers her. The shelter mom is sure he will be loved by this little girl and she allows her and her mother to adopt him. The first part of the poem is below. (Stuffed ferret not included.)
               RESCUED
Come here little ferret you've got nothing left to fear.
Don't you know that someone cared,  twas love that brought you here?
Someone found you starving on your own and so alone.
They brought you here oh little one, that you may find a home.

This shelter as it's called will be a safe and healing place.
Here you'll rest, regain your strength, & maybe see the face.
The face of one who brought you here, you really couldn't see.
Your eyes were tired, your body numb for you'd been there a week.

The earrings, by Swarovski, are a festive little pair of red-toned crystal with gold wires.  Everything comes housed in a lovely little red satin presentation box.

Just what every kid wants for the holidays - a whole lot of brand-new toys and treats!!!  Housed in a big plastic "toy box" that can double as a large corner litter pan, the collection includes ferret-safe baby toys that crinkle, jingle, rattle and are fun to chew.  A couple of plush toys and crocheted eggs are included too. There's also a large, sturdy toy that can be pulled by ferret-y teeth to a favorite hidey-hole, or chased by a little ferret if mom or dad wants to do the pulling.  The toy box measures 12" in each of the three sides and is 7.5" at the high, back corner.  A box of 8-in-1 grilled chicken treats and a bag of 8-in-1 multivitamin moist treats are part of the package.
