It looks like my previous message got lost, so I guess I should
explain...
 
I was interviewed a while ago by a reporter from the Wilmington
News Journal for an article on ferrets.  That article finally ran
this Tuesday.  (How exciting!  :-) )
 
I am very pleased with it!  It is very pro-ferret, in fact it is
titled "Ferret:  For fun and friendship".  It's a *BIG* article,
running on the front of the Pace section (the section with the
comics, etc.), with a big *color* picture of me holding Percy and
Bree (who look very unhappy about being held with all this neat
photography equipment sitting around to explore.  :-) ), a small
picture of Bree begging for a treat, and a small picture of Percy
coming out of one of their tubes.
 
The caption under the big picture says "Nancy Hartman holds Bree and
Percy, her pet ferrets.  The animals have been domesticated since
ancient Egyptian times, she says, and never have been really wild."
(I'll give myself a pat on the back for that one...  :-) )
 
The article even got mentioned on the front page, in one of those blocks
up top to get you to look for the article.  (I made the front page!!!  :-) )
 
There are a few small errors in the article, but nothing serious.  And
he took a few of my quotes out of context, but the overall effect didn't
hurt the article (although it made me sound sort of airheaded, but I
can live with that...).  (BTW, if anyone's ever interviewed, never
say "'cause", they *won't* edit it to "because".)  He picked some really
informative quotes, made ferrets sound like great fun, plugged my club
and our upcoming picnic, and all this after Percy nipped him during the
interview.  (Boy, was I worried about this article after that!!!)
So I'm very pleased with it!  :-)
 
So, my offer still stands.  I'll send any copies I can get my hands on
to people on a first-come, first-served basis.  So get your requests
in if you want one.  Just send me your ground mail address.
 
- Nancy
