First of all, Congrats to Sandy Repper for winning the Hammys from
Especially Ferrets Inc.  They are really cool looking and I promise
to send them tommorrow.  Sorry I'm Late.
 
Secondly,there has been so much controversy on ferret shows that the
Ferretguy, who has little experience with sanctioned ferret shows is
asking...Aren't these shows supposed to be fun for everybody involved?
 
This weekend, on Sunday, our Halloween show will be held.  Last year, we
were short on judges and had a lot of entries.  This year,we will have six
judges( nobody cares if they are REAL judges) and six categories, with a
two judge team handling two categories each.  We really don't care if you
enter 500 ferrets as that will mean you need to come up with 500 different
costumes and that's just 500 more laughs and giggles for everyone.
Unfortunately, there will only be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbon for each
category, but as far as we are concerned, everyone is a winner cause we are
all going to have fun!  We know all you folks out there put a lot of hard
work into your ferrets you show, but the folks who enter the Halloween
costume party spend all year thinking up some of the whackiest get-ups
you've ever laid eyes on!  I really hope I see a two headed ferret this
year, and none of us really care if a ferret is "defective" or not.  This
isn't about life and death, it's supposed to be fun!  Normally, I'm usually
the serious one with my postings on the fml, but we are starting to come
into the holiday season, so I don't think it's being out of line to ask
everyone to lighten up a little and get into the same mood your fuzzies
are in all the time.  Be Happy!!!
 
One last note, thank you to all of you who have sent me support letters
lately.  Your letters have lifted my spirits, along with the 140 something
fuzzies here and we all appreciate it more than you know.  Hugs to all,
Ferretguy
