Chere McKoy - I would love to send you info on ferrets clubs and
other  organizational hints if you will have someone send your ground
address via GEnie or snail mail to me.  (703)354-5073     Pam Grant
Keeping ferrets out of potted plants:  put the plants up out of reach.
Otherwise, try used coffee grounds, plastic "salad bar" container lids
taped on the rim of the pot, otherwise, but "Resolve" carpet cleaner.
Fresh smelling room a problem?  Use Galde Plug Ins or add baking soda
to the litter box clay litter, or mix "Cat Works" litter in with the
clay.

Sub: Please forward to Chere McCoy

Sorry to be a bother but could you please forward the following
listing to Chere McCoy and her people in Florida?  I spoke with her
earlier today and we felt that this would be the fastest way to get
the information to her.  Thank-you.

[Jeb., normally just send this directly to Chere or to ferret-request, not
ferret-list.  If this wasn't as interesting, it would have been a fair
amount of work to carve this out]
