I am way behind in reading the NEW York Times and the FML, so today, I read lots of both (it's raining here in NJ), sniff, sniff. Just want to say that I have a different take on the article in the September 1st issue of the Times reporting on Modern Ferret's (by now infamous) centerfold than that stated by (I believe Sukie Crandall). I felt that they believed it was PETCO who had no sense of humor & not us ferret owners. I also felt that the article was unslanted towards either party, even tho' they described ferrets as looking like a cross between 'rats and dachshunds.' I wasn't going to comment at all on this whole issue, but I know not many FML'ers have access to the Times, so I wanted to post a different point of view. //--------------------------------------------------- Eleanor Kohn email: [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2796]
