Yup, the magazine/book will be hitting the stands before you know it
in the months to come. I am looking forward to writing a carefree,
creative, and personable article for this years issue. People often
request new and fresh material, something off the beaten path, and
lighthearted. The icing on the cake for such a story would be to hear
from new people. Well, this is an opportunity to give readers many of
the things they've been asking for. Your answers may be among the
various statements/stories that I use in the article. I'm excited about
the chance to write about a topic that from the heart and is loud with
your voices. In my mind, it will only be as succesfull as the response.

So give a gal a hand? 

All you need to do is to answer ONE question. Your answer can be short,
or you can have yourself a good run on the keyboard. It's up to you.
And please, of all things .... if you have a relative or friend that
you could get to participate, that would be even better. That way we
can hear from everyday people. But please, don't let this hold you
back from answering the question yourself if you've been given a voice
before. I need any and all imput to write this article.

Feel free to pass this email on, repost, and copy/paste on boards in
various groups okay?

The question:

"All pet owners think their pet is great, so what makes your ferret or
ferrets a great pet?"

Include: name, state/province For added fun, send on some pics of your
ferrets (and/or of them in action)! If you choose to do so, the photo
must be high resolution to be considered for use in the magazine.

The summer has everyone busy and distracted (with good summery things),
and despite the outreach for a good bit of time, the magazine and I
have had little to no response and the deadline is about to pass.

          ----

If you feel so inclined to chat on even more about your fuzzie, my next
question for Buzz About Ferrets for Ferrets Magazine is awesome... so
chime in on this question as well if you like. And man this has the
makings of a crazy column!!!! Ferret people are outragous, so I'm
hoping for some crazy imput.

What is the silliest or strangest thing you've ever done for your
ferret?

Please send your answer to this by October 15, 2009. Please include
the following information with your answer:

1. Your first and last name.
2. Your state or province.
3. The number of ferrets you own.
4. How long you have owned ferrets.
