Yo Richard & Judi !
 
We are FNW (Ferrets NorthWest) located clandestinely in Mercer Island WA on
the pond called Lake Washington.  We do not advertise, no more, no more, our
name, phone #, or location because of the bad experiences we've had in being
choosey to whom we adopt out our Frettchen (das Frettchen = the ferret, and
you're right, it's German, the tongue of my paternal grandparents,
Grossvater Lipinski who served in the Austro-Hungarian army under Emperor
Franz Josef.)
 
Our motto is taken after the VW commercial, fahrvergnuegen, which you may
remember a few years ago was oft seen in their auto commercials.  It can be
taken to mean: the joy of driving.  Our motto is: Frettchenvergnuegen: the
joy of ferrets !
