I got this from a bunny list I belong to, and thought it might appeal to
somebody here.  Sounds like a good opportunity to do ferret PR!

>My name is Josh, and I work for a new TV program called "PetLine" which

>October.  The show is a call-in program where viewers phone in to discuss
>problems they have with their pets (dogs, cats, snakes, anything).  Our two
>hosts, Doug McConnell and pet expert Patricia McConnell, then answer the
>questions -- and hopefully, everyone has fun in the process.

>The style we're going for here is something like "Car Talk" on NPR.  But

>their pets, so we can then show the tapes while we're on the air.
>
>In any case, I'm writing you because we're trying to round up potential
>call-ins and videotapes from around the country.  After finding your name
>on the internet, I thought that you might know of some people (including
>yourself) who would like to be call-in guests on our show.

>The key is that these people would need to contact us via e-mail or phone,
>so we can send them an information packet.  They would then need to
>videotape their pets and send in the tapes.  Our toll-free number is
>1-888-258-PETS.

>If you have time, please e-mail me to let me know if you can help us.

>could help.

>I look forward to hearing from you.  Thank you very much for your time.
