We just finished up a long weekend in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, where
we attended the eighth annual Midwest Pet Fair in St. Paul, which included
Ferret Expo Midwest--my first ferret event (just observed; might participate
in a future one). It was great fun seeing all of the fuzzies and their
owners around the St. Paul Civic Center; I don't think that I saw a single
unfriendly ferret (or ferret-owner, for that matter). It was also great fun
bumping into Bill and Diane Killian, even if Bill didn't remember me from
here (Diane did, though; thanks, Diane!<g>).
We missed our two ferrets TERRIBLY! My mother has not yet learned the joys
of being owned by a ferret, and made it clear that she did not wish to have
ours living with her for even a short time; but she's a softy, and we're
wearing her down slowly! Anyway, Daisy and Zeke were in the care of a
neighborhood friend, and they were as happy to see us as we were to see
them.
The pet fair was a beautiful example of diversity: Ferrets were very much in
evidence, but so were dogs, cats, snakes, hedgehogs, iguanas, a few rats,
and even a sugar glider. California Governor Pete Wilson should visit a
show like this sometime! <g>
Good to be back!
