For Some Co-Workers, Bringing Fido to Office Has Become Pet Peeve
 
Excerpt:
While owners attest to the calming influence of pets, many also admit
that having a pet around simply makes it more fun to go to work.  In the
five months that John Angerson, owner of DigiSquid Studios, a Web design
company in Avoca, PA, has brought his ferrets Bear and Pepper to his
storefront office, he has lost track of mouse pads, keys, a checkbook,
bottlecaps and money - all carried off by the ferrets.
 
"They're adorable and have great personalities," he says.  But, he adds,
"I keep them caged when I'm trying to be productive."

of the article, he replied:
"Ok, thanks.  Please let me know if there are any interesting or unusual
stories related to ferrets that I might be able to write about for the
paper in a feature.  regards, Kris" <[log in to unmask]>
 
Isn't it nice to see a news article with ferrets that isn't negative?!
