Baby Girl has a Very Bad Day

Dis be little stray baby girl ferret. I've had a very bad day. I was found in a 4-lane highway and a lady saw a car straddle me......I was terrified and injured, so I just stayed there, very still. The lady stopped & ran out and picked me up, even though she never held a ferret & was afraid of me. She took me to her house and gave me some kitty food and water - I drank lots and LOTS of water, ate a few kibbies and went to sleep. She called a local pet shop and they said to bring me in because they knew a lady with a ferret shelter. The people at the pet store were very nice to me, they set me up in a small cage with food, water & blankies and they gave me kisses & cuddles. When the shelter mom came to get me, she saw that I am only a baby, maybe 14-16 weeks old. I had bruises on my tummy, legs and on my back & tail. And my back leg really hurt and was all swollen. Like I said, I was having a really bad day. I made a poopie and I've never seen a mom get so excited. It had interesting stuff in it dat I thought was food when I ate it.......hey, I was lost and hungry.....it was not time to be picky.It had paper and grass in it. My 2nd one was much more to her liking. She taked me to see the nice Dr Hankins. He had three band-aids on his hand and said he had kind of a rough day.......I said to him, "you and me both Dr. Hanky!!" He taked picures of my legg & body and one leg has TWO broken bones in it. He cannot so surgery though because he said it would be like putting pins in a toothpick!! He said it will have to heal on its own and that if shelter mom keeps me quiet for six weeks (good luck with that lady!!), that it will heal pretty good. It might be shorter than my other leg, but it will work OK. He gave me some medecine so it not hurt so much. Shelter mom is lookin for name suggestions for me. I'm a little dark sable girl, I was found on Preston Highway. Please don't let her name me Rhodie or Rhoda because I was on the road!! I was at the vet with that other ferret she just got - poor guy, she named him Rorschach because of the ink blot spot on his nose!! Rory gots to live with that name now!! She is also lookin for someone to maybe foster me for 6 weeks. I have to stay in a small cage and not be very active.......(this, I do not understand!!). BUT....she says it would have to be someone who understands my owner might be looking for me and if not, that I should come back to the shelter to go to da Dr. Hanky again in 6 weeks and then find a forever home. Maybe you gots a Grandma in da family who could foster me?? She says almost everyone we be sendin this e-mail to here has their limit of ferrets so if you want to foster me, you have to raise your right hand and swear on a bag of Totally Ferret that you can handle bringing me back in six weeks. Last thing be dat I be kind of expensive today......If anyone wants to make a donation to my medical fund, it be pweciated. PayPal or snail mail both be good! Thanks Eberyone........it be nice to meet you. Pictures will come soon......da shelter photographer is only here on Sundays!! Little Stray Baby Girl Ferret.
