Today, or rather tonight, we had a board meeting in
<a href="http://www.ki.icl.se/urf/ferrets/stif/">The
Swedish Ferret Society</A>. As usual, it was a rather
drawn out affair, lasting until late.<P>The end of the
year nears, so many questions had to do with
economics.<P>The yearly membership meeting next spring
won't be held in Stockholm, if possible.<P>A piece of bad
news was that our organisation isn't welcome as
participant in one of the <em>domestic animal</em>
expositions usually held in Stockholm right after the new
year.<br>The organisers prefer another, much smaller,
organisation, because they brought in better PR during a
similar show this autumn -- for example with the aid of
mink they had brought.<br>I've got nothing at all against
minks and martens, but do they really belong at a domestic
animal show?<hr>Upon returning
home late, I found that one of my little darlings had
<strong>not</strong> been using the litter box! (I don't
remember when it happened last, but it was more than a
month ago.) Since I do not clean them out in the evenings,
I only clean three out of four boxes every morning, it
could have had nothing to do with this, but rather with my
absence. A sign of unhappiness, perhaps? I don't know, but
it is thought provocing.
