Hi Emily, (and list :-)
 
I get my checks from Kansas Bank Note Company, for something like $16.00
for 200 duplicate check, with cute little ferrets on them.  The only thing
I don't care for is that the duplicate page is almost as thick as the
check, but that's a little thing.
 
Send a short note to:
 
Kansas Bank Note Co
PO Box 360
502 N 5th
Fredonia, KS  66736
 
and ask for sample of ferret checks.
 
They'll send you the samples, an order form, and a list of other animal
checks available.
 
They'll also make a check from a photograph for a one-time artwork charge.
Kind of cool.
 
Christmas tree advice is just around the corner . . .
 
The only trouble I had with my real tree last year was the ferrets drinking
the water (which was actually 7-up because I heard that was good.) The
ferrets thought it was good, too!  Neither of them climbed it very much, and
a few ornaments got knocked off, but I'd put the breakable ones up high.
 
I have 5 ferrets this year, and I've decided to put up a small table-top
tree--our house is so small that I can't stand the thought of the mess and
rearranging I'll need to do for a big tree.
 
Take care,
