Besides the many wonderful ferret sites which have giving possibilities here is an ASPCA site which even has a couple of things that might be good gifts for the shelter person on your list (I have NOT read these books so don't know but I think I might get some with holiday money if I get some.) http://store.yahoo.com/aspca/ Soundprints catalog has reintroduced their Black Footed Ferret children's book, tape, and stuffed ferret. I don't know if they are still a Smithsonian catalog. The Smithsonian has had financial cutbacks and things may have spun off. http://www.soundprints.com/spstore/showprod.cfm?&DID=11&CATID=61 &ObjectGroup_ID=293 or go to the Wild Heritage Collection from the main products list page below. AVOID their horridly malfunctioning search engine. They should learn from Bill Gruber or Pam and Eric Sessoms how to do a search engine! http://www.soundprints.com/spstore/webpage.cfm?&DID=11&WebPage_ID=9 [Moderator's note: I didn't program the FML search engine -- it comes with the list server software and I only did minor customization. By the way, it's changing soon to help protect privacy. I'll write about it more next week, but basically the archives still will be searchable by anyone but e-mail addresses of the posters will be masked out unless you get a password and sign in. That will stop address harvesting by spammers. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 4722]
