Anais and Mr. Bojangles had a gleem in their eyes when I read to them that some one was inquiriing about a ferret show in Maryland. I have no knowlege of it, but I sure would like to hear about it. Anais and Bo like to meet other ferre ts, but living in DC (which someone told me was ferret-free), they don't get mu ch opportunity. My next inquiry deals with intracontinental flight and ferrets. I rceently had to drive from Washington DC to Chicago because US Air would not allow me to bring theomon board because "ferrets are not domesticated" THey offered a number of expensive and inconvenient options (that is, air freight, where the ferrets probably wouldn't even be on the same flight) I wasn't about to argue with the reservationist, but I was wondering if anyone had any real information on air transport of ferrets, or good persuasive methods of getting the airline to let me carry them on. Or, could I get away by calling them "hamsters" (wink, wink, nudge nudge) and hope nobody is wise to the ploy? just wondering? [Posted in FML issue 0400]
