Ronda, I totally forgot to call - will call her in morning and see what we
can do. Ellen and Carl brought the Gray one caught tonight to me - it had
severe malocclusion and not able to eat well at all. I trimmed the teeth and
she dove into food. It is a female - no testcles (some bad anal glands that
looked liked testcles!) She is only about 2 pounds, severely undernourished
but seems ok otherwise. We can make decisions about her tomorrow.

Oh my, what a week, month, year! E

Sorry Edie I just saw this and have to get to bed. I just took a call from
baileys mom Adrienne that they caught. Rabbit in Valdosta and cnnot take it
into their home due to severe allergies. They're coming back wed evening
and asked to bring it to the shelter.

Do you want to forgoe the boarding income for now for these emergencies?
I think we need to help the above rabbit tomorrow if possible.

Pinto Bean moved out today to a foster home, so that helps open up one pen.. will Miss Chicago leave tomorrow (I heard she bonded but they didn't want to pick her up until Tuesday)?
 
The Cake Hags offered to foster Flo (she's back, apparently), and while I think they DO NOT NEED ANYMORE RABBITS.... how desperate are we?
 
And not that I want to overwhelm Nancy, because I don't.... but does she have room for one more?

I was able to move Tanner upstairs today - he was down in boarding.

We can forget about the mama with the two daughters who are in boarding too.
