Dear Ferret Folks- I understand that Jacquie has been sending out lots of letter templates to folks, and lots of complete lists of treats (safe, only in moderation, and under no circumstances). This is wonderful! We are so very greatful. We do have a piece of advice- as difficult as it may be, please try to be polite. Even if your first impulse is to yell "LISTEN UP, ROAD KILL FOR BRAINS!!!" a measured, civil tone helps a lot. Otherwise they probably put your letter in a file marked "CRAZY FERRET FANATICS," and that's the end of your influence. I know I don't care what people who yell in my face want. Period. Do you? You can always call them dirty names after you hit send. Just a thought. Alexandra in MA Wearing her IFC hat [Posted in FML issue 5129]
