Hello Everyone! Announcing the Triangle's new ferret club: Several days ago someone posted re: not being able to find a North Carolina ferret club. Fortunately, several of our club members (FML regulars) noticed and she has been invited to join our group! Thanks, guys! Well, now that the word's out, I guess it's time to make the formal announcement! We are a small (but growing)group of enthusiastic ferret folks (mostly FMLers)from the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill-Research Triangle Park, North Carolina area (central N.C.). Our first meeting was a big success and we were fortunate to have Pam & John Grant from STAR Ferrets "drop in" (literally!) to help us kick it off! We have a lot of great ideas & are really excited about the possibilities for this club, so please join us at our next meeting on Saturday, October 7, 1:00 p.m. in Durham. One of our first projects was to start a Triangle Ferret List. This list is primarily for use by members to keep in touch with each other and provide updates on club events. Please e-mail [log in to unmask] to add your name to the list. We are currently still in the planning stages, and working on our agenda, member info., etc. so please join us! Found ferret: We (my husband & I) operate "Rogues Gallery" ferret shelter in Durham, NC and this evening got a call from a local pet store to pick up a young female ferret who was found in Creedmoor on Saturday night, (9/23) in the middle of a rain storm. When she was found, she was cold & dripping wet, but other than some ear mites (& a mild cold!) she seems pretty healthy. She's a bit skittish and nippy, but seems to have been fairly well treated by whoever lost her. If anyone is missing (or knows anyone who's missing) a ferret, please contact me at the above home e-mail address or at work [log in to unmask] Karen and the (ever-growing) gang: Lao Bear ("I'm a lover, not a fighter!") Gurgey (The Ferrinator) Samantha ("Chill out Gurgey, or I'll kick your butt!") Puka (Zzzzzz) Taz ("Chill out, Gurgey or Samantha will kick your butt!") Fizzgig ("I can take him, Taz! . .Samantha, go kick his butt!" Sassy? Puka? Mommeee!!!") Sassy ("Don't look at me, I'll just stay over here, under the dresser. . .) "Gypsy" ("I wanna go home!) Lady & Jake (dogs), Jenny & Willow (cats) - "Get those things outta here!" Tigger (kitten) - "Mom, it attacked me!" Fuzzball (rabbit) - "Duh. . ." [Posted in FML issue 1328]
