Having lived in CaCa land(California) for 26 of my 46 years and knowing CJ (An honor and pleasure) I would gather CJ meant to refer to California as a state and not the fuzzie owners therein. I know she has many friends in Caca land and has an agreement with some of the "Gamies" F&G folks to not adopt to people from Ca. Some folks lie to her and tell her whatever just to get a ferret deal and are only jeopardizing the ferret when they get caught going back across the border. I know of one person who works at the checkpoints that insures that the ferrets taken there get back to CJ with just such an agreement, she not adopt them back to Calif residents. As for the state of Calif, it "bites" to live there. There are unfortunately for them, some very wonderful people who live there, but 26 years was enough for me. The only reason I lived there as long as I did was because most of the time I was there, I was out on the ocean catching fish and a good tan and not dealing with all the gangs, drugs, smog, and cops with attitudes, and crooked politicians. Plus, they don't allow ferrets! Oh, turn up the flames baby!!! I could go on and on about this state. Hang in there CJ, we're all rootin for you!!
