Tonight an interesting idea came to me. Maybe if there are enough people interested we could really set this up. OK here it is... With all the ferret owners all over the US, Canada, Australia, etc, it would be pretty easy to set up a sort of fuzzy chain. What I mean by that is, say for example I'm making a trip to say Maine from Texas and I'm going to drive. Well between Maine and Texas is more than 1000 miles, and hundreds of ferrets and thier owners. What we could do to help each other out, is say offer our spare bedrooms, hidebeds whatever. That way not only do you save money on a hotel, but you get to meet fellow fuzzies and thier interesting people along the way. This way it would be very easy to bring your fuzzies on your car trip/flight/train ride, whatever and know you're not going to have to sneak our little fuzz butts into hotel rooms and such. I know you all do it, casue I've done it many a time, with ferrets, cats and dogs. We could set a central point where a couple people match potenial travels with hosts. I remember in high school band we used to do this sort of thing all the time. One time we had a band come down from Calgary, alberta to Spokane. Each band memeber hosted at least one of thier band members, more if you had room. Then when we travel to Calgary they hosted us in thier homes. So what do you all think? It could be an interesting project. We even could ask for each night you say with someone that you make say a $10-20 donation to thier local shelter, or a shelter of thier choice if none are available. That way you still save money and help a shelter in need as well. -- Matthew Kritter.................. [log in to unmask] Peanut Kritter............. [log in to unmask] Bijoux Kritter..............
