To get to the article in the Washington Post about Black-Footed Ferrets,
copy and paste this big boy into your brower Netsite/URL window:

-idx.html
 
Make sure it takes up only one line, though.  This is so long that it might
be two lines by the time you read it on the FML.
 
My search also turned up this unrelated URL:

It's a listing of animal cases received recently by the Fairfax County
Department of Animal Control.  One concerns a pet ferret that was seized and
the owner charged with "failure to provide adequate care" and "cruelty to
animals".  Does anyone here know anything about that?
