I'd been asked when the new version of "The Ferret Owner's Manual" would be available. I can now happily say, "Now." It can be found at http://www.4lilpaws.org. It's dated Nov 2001. As before, nonprofit organizations are welcome to download it, print it, and make it available on a nonprofit basis. Shelters may wish to give copies to their adopters. If you're not familiar with the Manual, it's about 31 pages of basic grooming, training, care and first aid tips. The Web page soon should have "Santa's Ferret" very soon - may be there by the time you read this. It's a children's Christmas Story. Dick B 4 L'il Paws Ferret Shelter [Posted in FML issue 3602]
