Chris: The switch went fine, thanks. RE: legality in Michigan. This'll be vague, hold on to your hats. I seem to recall hearing/reading about Michagan legalizing ferrets recently. I think it was in a letter which Linda Harrah (our ferret guru) gave to us, which we were supposed to type in for the mailing list. The letter talked about (then) upcoming hearings to be held here in Cowtown, er, columbus, OH, to discuss the viability of ferrets as house pets. The letter mentioned recent victories (thats where michigan comes in) and solicited letters from ferret owners and vets to be sent to the health department guy in charge of the ferret policy. Of course, this all happened during the period where my net access was about as certain as the american economy. So we never typed it in. Anyway, I think they're legal in MI now. lenny. ps. Anybody else out there in OHIO? Drop me a line. [Posted in FML issue 0225]
