They simply didn't know that there ARE AND HAVE BEEN SERVICE FERRETS.
The woman with whom i spoke was friendly and intelligent and willing
to learn and she says the judge also will be.
If you know a ferret who performs a health function, or alerted someone
to a fire or other hazard in time, PLEASE, politely let the judge's
office know how to access this information.
Should you know of a website they should see you alternatively can let
me know, ditto your own stories about health functions performed by
ferrets. I don't have a fax machine but maybe i can find someone here
who does have a fax machine who can join with us to help this judge
be informed enough that Lucy Gwin and her service ferrets will not be
evicted. Then i can forward the notes to the person with the fax
machine who can get them to the judge's office that way before next
week's need for them. Please, be polite. People pay more attention to
honey than to vinegar.
If you know others who may have more of this sort of needed info,
please, pass along any of my related FML messages to those individuals.
Also, if you do contact the judge's office, please be sure to restrict
your comments only to those about ferrets being used as service
animals. General comments such as "ferrets are wonderful pets" are not
relevant to this case and will distract the judge from the important
comments which CAN make the difference.
