(Lurker Mode Off) Hi all, I'm mostly a lurker, but for a while I've wanted to become a more active participant in the FML community, so I figured this was a good place to start. For those of you who live in Connecticut, in today's Journal Inquirer there is a picture of a man holding a ferret on the front page. The article it goes along with talks about the new animal curator at a local children's museum, the ferret is one of the animals in the museum. The fuzzy isn't mentioned anywhere in the article, but the picture is a good one, the caption says "...gets a kiss from a ferret while talking to a group of children...." I am an animal volunteer at the museum and can tell you from experience that the ferret pictured, Lily, is a real sweet heart and so is her buddy Daisy, who is being treated for an adrenal tumor. I have not met the new curator yet, but from the picture he seems ferret-friendly, hopefully he can help me in my crusade to better the living arrangements of the fuzzballs (took me months just to get them to change the ferrets' bedding from wood shavings to newspapers), and the other creatures housed there. OK, that's all for now.... (Lurker Mode Still Off) -Emily Bandit&Rascal [Posted in FML issue 3472]
