The petstore in my area has actually agreed to hand out the brochures I've
made.  (and paid for with my own money!)In it there is some basic
information and on it is my name and phone# for people to contact if they
need more info.  I run a Shelter/Information center in the Ohio Valley and
so far all the stores etc.  that deal with ferrets havebeen pretty helpful.A
friend of mine has been giving the First Aid booklet for ferrets to her
petstore and they give one to every new ferret owner.If everyone does things
like this, we'd get a long way towards educating people....
 
On another note, I recently saw a program where a 5 year old was drawing
pictures of a Rainbow bridge after a near death experience... Wether you
believe in it or not, I feel better.From the mouths of babes.....
