There was a few GREAT articles in the Washington Post Kids section this Thursday on ferrets as pets: <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/08 /AR2005110801322.html> <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/08 /AR2005110801324.html> <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/08 /AR2005110801336.html> It even mentions that ferrets are Not rodents!!! Another of my favorite part- "Mom had to be shown that ferrets don't smell horrible or attack for no reason -- common misbeliefs that have given ferrets a bad rap" I have never been so proud to be a Washington Post subscriber! I wrote the paper and told them how great the articles were and thanked them for being fair and honest in their ferret reporting :) [FG] [Posted in FML issue 5059]
