I hope the Petco will be open to helping an investigation, and I hope that ECE *doesn't* make it's way back to MF..have they been contacted about it? I would assume that they have precautions, but still... One comment on caged dogs and ferrets....be sure that the ferrets can't get into the dog cage. The curious fearless critters may not be able to resist, and a disaster could happen. FML get-together. I am from the midwest, and disabled, so there is no way that I could say ahead of time that I can probably make it to any get-together that isn't in the midwest. It's something that I would really have to plan for...travel, energy, everything. Moving the get-together around is the best way to be fair to everyone...and maybe make long-term plans for doing overseas for our international friends. I hope at some point we can get more "ferret action" going on in the midwest...including shows and such:) Well, the first "official" meeting of a new ferret club will be happening April 4th:) Dooks!
