_Modern Ferret_ magazine was recently declared one of the 12 best magazines
in the business by _min_ magazine. Other publications to be so honored
include: _The Economist_, _The New Yorker_, _Information Week_, _Teen
People_, _Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel_ and _ESPN The Magazine_.
 
Quite an extraordinary list of publications to be included with!
Especially for a magazine produced by just two people and nine ferrets -
most of those publications have more editors listed on their masthead than
we own ferrets!

Mary and I are both really excited about this (and the ferrets are dancing
about madly!).  Lots of treats for everyone tonight!  This is the type of
positive recognition for ferrets that we have been striving for since we
started the magazine.  Hopefully this honor will draw attention to the
magazine and to the information we provide as well as to how wonderful
ferrets are as pets (we're the only pet magazine that made the cut).
 
Watch for an ad from _min_ in the March 1 issue of the NY Times in the
business section congratulating us!
 
We can't wait to see the actual issue of _min_ - we sent some very nice
photos of Mary with Bosco.
 
Just want the ferret community to know we're busy doing our jobs as best as
we can.
