A friend at work moved from Fargo about six months ago. He highly recommends Dr. Treat of the Animal Health Clinic on South University Drive. On other (loosely ferret-related) topics, Stuart and I participated in the First Annual Chili Cookoff at the Sioux Falls Brewing Company. A local television stations interviewed me briefly, and asked for the identity of our secret ingredient. I thought about it for a nanosecond, then proudly proclaimed that the secret of my chili was the addition of ferret hair. <GGGGGG> (For anyone unfamiliar with chili cookoffs, stories circulate of prize-winning cooks adding the darndest things to their concoction : cigarette ash, chocolate, etc.) [Posted in FML issue 1756]
