Hello ferret friends, First I'd like to thank everyone who sent condolences about Espresso, both privately and on the fml. Your sympathy means a great deal to me and helps a lot. You are truly nice people. I'd also like to know if anyone else is interested in starting (or re-starting) a ferret club here in central Texas, that is, the Austin area. We had an Austin ferret club for a short time but it fell apart because the person who was holding it together moved out of the state (that'll do it). If anyone wants to do this *please* e-mail me and we can put this thing together. You can send e-mail here or to my other address which is [log in to unmask] doesn't really matter which. I'd like to have the first meeting as soon as possible--by the end of this month or the first week of November. I live in San Marcos myself, if you don't want to make the 30 minute trek down here for a meeting, please suggest a place in Austin we can meet. However, if there are people from San Antonio who want to join, maybe this would be a better centerpoint to meet at. hmmm... Well, we can work that out as we go. Hope to see some interest in this... :-) After what has happened I feel I need to do something productive for the ferrets. --Barbara Thomas [Posted in FML issue 1721]
