Hi All, This morning, after waking up, (I slept in until 7:00 a.m. - that is practically afternoon for me!) I loosed the wuzzles and came in to check E- mails. As I always read personal E-mail before the FML, I had no idea about Mini's post about TF available in Alququerque. I was very confused about several messages from some Albuquerque customers swearing allegence to Goodhart's Little Buddies and refusing to purchase from anyone else. (What time do you people wake up anyway??? Its Sunday!) After the personal E-mails I read the FML and saw Mini's post. I would like to dispell some misunderstandings here: First, the ultimate goal of Goodhart's Little Buddies is to bring Totally Ferret to everyone, more importantly to find dealers locally so that our customers do not have to rely on mail order. We seek to supply Totally Ferret to every pet shop, groomer, vet, ferret shelter, etc. to make sure that obtaining it is more convenient for everyone. Mini, Jodi and Paula are wondrful ferret people! We are very pleased that they have decided to bring Totally Ferret to Albuquerque, which from our customer demographics, appears to be one rocking ferret town! All of our Albuquerque customers will be receiving a letter from me stating that they have a new source locally. This is not a bad thing! Like Dan and me, Mini, Jodi and Paula are ferret folk first. This sets all of us apart from some of the other suppliers and dealers which only deal in numbers. I think you will all be very happy with the change in circumstances. Because you will be purchasing Totally Ferret from another source does not mean we turn our backs on you! My telephone, E-mail and snail mail are always open to you! I love to hear how your kids are doing! I still want PICTURES! You do not have to have to place an order to call! I love talking to you about the fuzzies! We at Goodhart's Little Buddies wish Mini, Jodi and Paula all the best in their endeavors to bring the best available ferret food to Albuquerque on a local level. We will also support them in any way possible. If you live in Albuquerque or the surrounding areas, and are currently purchasing TF from us, please contact Mini at [log in to unmask] She will provide you with her telephone number and address and get you started on a better way of obtaining your Totally Ferret. A letter from me will arrive via snail shortly with more information. We do appreciate the efforts to warn us of competition and pledges of loyalty, but again, that is not an issue in this matter! My luv to the fuzzies!
