Hullo, and thanks to all who responded, on the list and in e-mail, to my recent books & ferrets questions. I've found a nice owner who is reluctantly looking to give away two loving ferrets, and I'm very interested, but I still feel the need to spend a little time around some fuzzies and (ideally) visit a ferret-proofed home, particularly before adopting a pair. If there are any ferret owners in Southern Maine (or who visit, or will otherwise be in Southern Maine) with a little time to spare for a meeting, *PLEASE* e-mail me ASAP at [log in to unmask] [I'll be visiting my ISP's home pages/chats for the first time (I'm looking forward to this, he said, through clenched teeth) and repeating this entreaty.] Thanks in advance, and Ping-Pong balls to all ferrets. ::No severed goddess hand ::No plaster in my eye ---The Meat Puppets [Posted in FML issue 2438]
