I remember Bryan's book as well.  I thought he did a very nice job on
it (and not just because I had a few poems in there!:^).  He called it
"Shelterware" and the price of the book was a donation to a Shelter.  A
very nice idea - one definately worth someone doing again.

Hahaha!  Thanks, that brings back memories!  I think I suggested the
round room!  I know *that* would have drove my fuzzies absolutely crazy.
Of course they might have just piled their goodies and toys together
to make a poo-poo corner.  Yeah.....I bet they would have.  Ok.  Never
mind!  %^P
 
FWD: 3 ferrets free to a good home in Western New York State
(Rochester/Finger Lakes Area)
 
A co-worker just passed along info to me about a flyer posted in her
local grocery store.  She thought I might be interested - sadly no.
There are 3 ferrets free to a good home.  I have no details other than a
name and phone number.  If you are interested, please send me an email
and I will pass along the contact name and number.
